Nasal breathing performs four physiological functions that oral breathing cannot replicate.

It filters incoming air through nasal mucosa and cilia, removing particulates and pathogens before they reach the lower respiratory tract. It humidifies and warms air to optimal respiratory conditions, reducing irritant load on the lungs. It produces nitric oxide in the nasal sinuses which is a vasodilator that improves oxygen-hemoglobin exchange in the lungs and oxygen delivery to tissues. And it activates diaphragmatic breathing, which engages the parasympathetic nervous system through the vagal reflex.

Mouth breathing bypasses all of this. The functional oral health interventions we provide, myofunctional therapy, OPA, and NRT, exist in significant part, to make nasal breathing automatic.
