According to recent research it has been observed that the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of mouth breathing syndrome (MBS), and early treatment of MBS may prevent possible future dental and physical problems.
The study is published in the Pediatric Dental Journal.
Mouth breathing syndrome (MBS) is defined as a set of signs and symptoms that may be completely or incompletely present in subjects who, for various reasons, replace the correct pattern of nasal breathing with an oral or mixed pattern. Better understanding of the characteristics of MBS at each stage of growth will be helpful for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of MBS.
