Mouth Breathing Effect: How It Impacts Your Face, Teeth & Health

Mouth breathing in children is more than a habit, it’s a sign of possible airway dysfunction and underdeveloped facial growth. In this video, Dr. Pamela Marzban (DDS, LVIF, FICCMO) explains how early diagnosis and growth-guided treatment can help children breathe, sleep, and develop better. Learn the early signs parents should look for, how growth-guided expanders and habit correction work, and why starting as early as age 3 can change a child’s long-term health, sleep, and facial development. This video is designed for parents, pediatricians, ENTs, speech therapists, lactation consultants, orthodontists, and anyone invested in pediatric airway health.
