Habitual mouth-breathing is one of the common causes of sleep-breathing difficulties and snoring, where during sleep the mouth remains open and the mandible drops backwards causing the soft tissue (including tongue) to collapse the airway.
Targeted tongue exercise improves nasal breathing by reducing the palatal vault height and widening the narrowed nasal airways. In addition, the elevated tongue position prevents mouth breathing by creating an oral air seal. When this happens, the body naturally utilises the nose to breathe (Nat Sci Sleep 2018; 10; 271).
Growing the habit of nasal breathing during daytime translates into a night habit and the person will be trained to sleep with his/her mouth closed.
