responsible for determining systemic changes that may cause morphological alterations at the craniofacial
level.

Recently, mouth breathing has been reported as a risk factor for immune diseases such as atopic dermatitis
(AD; synonyms: atopic eczema and childhood eczema). However, the mechanism whereby mouth breathing is
associated with AD has not been elucidated, and there is not enough evidence that mouth breathing is
associated with an increased risk of AD in children. AD is a chronic, recurrent, inflammatory skin disease that

Sleep Medicine and Angels Therapy

Mouth breathing causes more problems than soggy pillows and dry mouths. Mouth breathing can cause sleep
disorders that affect daily life. It can also change the structure of people’s faces. Most people develop mouth
breathing as very young children, potentially setting the stage for long-term problems.

Sleep medicine is a medical specialty or subspecialty devoted to the diagnosis and therapy of sleep
disturbances and disorders. From the middle of the 20th century, research has provided increasing knowledge
and answered many questions about sleep-wake functioning.

The mouth breathing habit can be changed but it won’t happen overnight – it does takes time and effort.
Angels Therapy is designed to improve muscle strength/ tone while creating healthy habits – nasal breathing,
lip seal, elevated tongue rest posture and correct chewing and swallowing techniques. This is done by doing
daily exercises and using reminder techniques.
