“…Occlusal anomalies can be seen due to an interposing tongue. 2,17 Similar to other works, a large group of the current study's patients presented a high arch palate. 7,11,12 In addition, mandibular hypoplasia and mandibular retrognathism were more common among these patients.…”

“…It must be emphasized that the wide interpersonal variability in adaptation and compensation may be responsible for this clinical diversity. 2 To investigate craniofacial morphologic deformities in children with upper airway obstruction, this controlled study was performed. Because cephalometry has been proven as a useful screening test for anatomic abnormalities in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, this method was chosen to investigate skeletal and softtissue deformities in the current work.…”

To investigate craniofacial growth deformities in children with upper airway obstruction, this controlled study was performed. Cephalometry is used as a screening test for anatomic abnormalities in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Therefore, the current work selected this method to investigate the effect of upper airway obstruction on craniofacial morphology.Patients with upper airway obstruction (104) were compared with 71 controls. Patients with upper airway compromise had mandibular hypoplasia, mandibular retrognathism, and higher hard palates in comparison with controls with no history of airway obstruction. The difference was higher in the older age group.Airway obstruction has significant correlation craniofacial morphology. Our findings support the idea of early assessment and thorough management of mouth breathing in children.

“…Although numerous studies have investigated the skeletal and occlusal characteristics of mouth-breathing individuals [2][3][4][6][7][8], no study evaluated the morphology of the palatal vault in mouth-versus nasal-breathing subjects by means of digital 3D dental casts. 3D images can be used to assess linear and angular measurements that describe the arch form and the palatal morphology [21].…”

“…Mouth-breathing is a pathological alteration of the normal breathing pattern [1]. Prolonged mouth-breathing can produce muscular and postural alterations, which interacting with the craniofacial structures, can cause alterations on the morphology, position, and growth direction of the jaws [2]. Mouth-breathing causes the tongue to rest in a low position in the oral cavity.…”
