Mouth breathing habit during growth and development can affect dentocraniofacial growth. Mouth breathing can cause stunted development of the lower and upper jaws which makes the jaws narrower resulting in crowding teeth. It is a condition of differences in the sizes of the teeth and the arch of the jaw causing teeth overlapping. This study was aimed to obtain the mouth breathing habit and crowding teeth among students of SD Negeri 46 (elementary school) Manado. It was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Samples were obtained by using total sampling. Examinations of mouth breathing and crowding teeth were performed on the students and data were analyzed by using percentages. The results showed that 17.2% of students had mouth breathing habit; 78.5% of them had crowding teeth. In conclusion, the majority of students of SD Negeri 46 Manado that had mouth breathing habit had crowded teeth.Keywords: mouth breathing, anterior teeth crowding Abstrak: Kebiasaan bernafas melalui mulut yang berlangsung selama masa tumbuh kembang dapat memengaruhi pertumbuhan dentokraniofasial.
