Mouth breathing, “nasal disuse,” and pediatric sleep-disordered breathing

May 12, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

Persistence of mouth breathing post-T&As plays a role in progressive worsening through an increase of upper airway resistance during sleep with secondary impact on orofacial growth. Methods Retrospective study on non-overweight […]
