Many of us have weak jaw muscles or excess weight that pull our mouths open during sleep, causing a troublesome switch to mouth breathing.
Sleeping with your mouth open is a known cause of snoring:
- An open mouth causes your throat to compress.
- Your tongue falls further back into your airway.
- The open space behind your tongue and soft palate is reduced.
- Inhaled air vibrates the soft tissues at the back of your mouth.
- Your throat dries out from breathing in non-humidified air.
- Mouth breathing doesn’t filter allergens and germs.
- Mouth breathing also causes other problems, impacting sleep quality, bad breath, oral health, respiratory health, and even face shape.
