11] The analysis confirmed that "SDB (sleep disordered breathing) can both result from and be worsened by nasal obstruction. (positivehealth.com)
The paper concluded that the change to mouth breathing that occurs with chronic nasal obstruction is a common pathway for sleep-disordered breathing. (positivehealth.com)
Without the elimination of the obstruction, mouth breathing can result and lead to many problems, including poor facial and dental development.It is important to recognize that, although a child may not see an orthodontist until age seven or even later, many of the problems associated with airway obstruction begin much before that age. (aotmj.com)
This swelling reduces the opening of the nasal passageway, potentially causing an obstruction leading to nasal stuffiness or mouth breathing. (aotmj.com)
This allows bacteria to puddle up in the tube, and from there the bacteria back up into the middle ear, causing painful ear infections.DEVIATED SEPTUMThe condition results when the septum, which consists of the bone and cartilage separating the nose into two nostrils, deviates from one side to the other and is a common cause of nasal obstruction and mouth breathing. (aotmj.com)
