    Citation Excerpt :

    Nasal breathing is the primary mode of air intake for humans and it plays a pivotal role in correct muscular action stimulating adequate orofacial and nasopharyngeal growth. Many studies have shown the influence of breathing pattern on craniofacial growth.1,2 Mouth breathing becomes compensatory and obligatory in the presence of any obstruction in normal breathing, which may be due to allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, adenoid or tonsillar hypertrophy, nasal polyps and deviated nasal septum.3–5

  • Influence of straw type on feeding development in infants

    2013, Pediatric Dental Journal
    Citation Excerpt :

    In particular, intake using new types of feeding devices such as spoons, cups, and straws is initiated. Bosma [14] reported that sensory experience played an important role in functional development in the oral and pharyngeal regions. It is considered advisable to avoid using feeding devices that affect the development of the lips, such as SWVs, during this period.
