Long-term dependence on oral breathing may lead to nasal allergies, snoring and apnea, affecting sleep quality.
Dr. Lin said that before discussing whether oral plaster can help correct oral breathing, it is advisable to understand what "oral breathing" is and what impact it will bring to human health. Mouth breathing can easily make the human body hyperventilate, cause abnormal brain activity, affect sleep, and make people dream more all night.
In addition, the wrong oral breathing habits will affect the tooth arrangement and oral structure, and even make the human nasopharynx and other soft tissues inflamed and swollen. If the above inflammatory symptoms are not effectively improved, the respiratory tract will be narrowed for a long time, so that the airflow inhaled by the human body cannot pass through the respiratory tract smoothly, and then annoying sleep problems such as snoring and apnea will come to the door. In the case of poor sleep quality, brain fatigue symptoms such as inattention and memory loss will appear one after another, affecting learning ability and work efficiency.
Prevent mouth and breathing from hurting the body? It is the key to restore nasal breathing ability and keep your mouth shut at night.
How can we effectively change improper oral breathing habits and restore nasal breathing is very important! As early as 100 years ago, some scholars observed that the reason why Indians live healthier than civilized people and seldom get sick is because of the wisdom of "shut up". After breastfeeding, Indian mothers will deliberately pinch their babies' mouths after drinking milk, and will always correct their children's mouth breathing habits in daily life; Even when I sleep, I will deliberately pull my chin with a string to keep my mouth closed.
Dr. Lin Zhangyan pointed out that the key to improving oral breathing is to use only your nose and close your mouth when breathing. Although, during the day, people can consciously and moderately control their mouths and avoid oral breathing. However, it is worth noting that when the human body is asleep and the muscles relax, the mouth will also lose control, showing a state of breathing with its mouth open.
Therefore, the biggest challenge to successfully prevent oral breathing is how to avoid involuntary mouth opening during night sleep. It happened that we slept for nearly a day 1/3, so how to keep your mouth shut when sleeping at night is the key to keep all the efforts made during the day from being wasted. Because of this, it is not difficult to find that more and more manufacturers of medical materials are investing in making adhesive tapes or snore-stopping hoods to keep their mouths closed during sleep.
