Small upper jaw, backward position of chin and open mouth posture changes the way the child breathing

Nasal breathing has multiple advantage

  • more oxygen absorption 
  • Helps to go in deep sleep 

Mouth breathing on other hand does not filter the air and leads to frequent infection in children.
