Does your kid fall sick frequently

Does your kid have frequent adenoid and tonsils inflammation

Does your kid have open mouth posture or mouth breathing.


Small upper jaw, backward position of chin and open mouth posture changes the way the child breathing

Nasal breathing has multiple advantage 

  • Filters bacteria
  • more oxygen absorption 
  • Helps to go in deep sleep 

Mouth breathing on other hand does not filter the air and leads to frequent infection in children.

This kids had open mouth breathing since young age. This cause his tongue  low posture and imbalance in cheek and tongue muscle. 


Since childhood he had frequently cold and block nose that increases his mouth breathing habit.
