Sleeping with your mouth open will make you ugly

Sleeping and eating are things that everyone must do every day. Only in this way can the normal functions of the human body be maintained. However, most people will make unconscious movements when sleeping, such as talking in sleep, snoring, etc. Some people breathe through their noses while others breathe through their mouths. Modern medical research has proven that people who breathe through their mouths while sleeping will become uglier after a period of time. So why is this?

1. What are the negative effects of mouth breathing while sleeping?

1. Affects appearance:

Mouth breathing causes the lip muscles to be in a relaxed state for a long time, and the lip muscles are not strong enough to cover the teeth, resulting in buck teeth.

It will also affect the normal development of the face, leading to mandibular hypoplasia and chin retraction, which is what we often call no chin;

2. Impact on health:

Mouth breathing and snoring not only affect the quality of sleep, but also affect intellectual development;

In addition, if the air inhaled into the lungs is too dry, it will also damage the respiratory tract and lungs. Secondly, it will make the oral mucosa dry and easy to crack, reduce the oral cavity's resistance to bacteria, and then induce other oral diseases.

In addition, long-term high blood pressure

Coronary heart disease, etc.

2. Which children

Do you like sleeping with your mouth open?

Allergic rhinitis, adenoids, tonsillitis and other respiratory diseases, colds, obesity, and an oversized tongue can all cause airway obstruction in children;

The respiratory system's airways are blocked and the nasal cavity is blocked, forcing the child to breathe through the mouth.

3. When children sleep with their mouths open, what should mothers do?

1. First determine whether the child breathes through the mouth or the nose

When the child is sleeping with his mouth open, the mother can gently get close to the child and put her hands on the child's mouth and nostrils to judge the child's breathing pattern. You can also put a mirror facing the child's mouth and cover the nose. If there is water mist on the mirror, it means that the child is breathing with his mouth open.

2. Analyze whether it is a physiological reason or a personal habit of the child

First take the child to the hospital for sleep breathing tests, nasopharyngeal examinations, etc., to find out the cause, whether the child has respiratory disease or physiological reasons. If so, relevant treatment should be carried out in time.

If it is not a physiological reason, mothers should correct their children's bad habit of mouth breathing in time.

You can put tape on your child's mouth when he is sleeping at night to help him breathe through his nose; during the day, let your child consciously train his lip muscles, such as putting a small button in his lips so that the small button will fall off easily when his lips are loose. After a period of training, the child will no longer breathe through his mouth.
