    Default Are you a mouth breather?

    So, in correlation with the self-diagnosing thread, while researching my dental issues, I found a term that made me stop. "Mouth breather".

    Apparently that's someone who breaths mainly through their mouth at rest, and it's also a term for "dork" or "dweeb". And everyone online acts like breathing through your mouth is extremely rare and odd.

    wtf? Am I alone in finding this out?

    I've always mainly breathed through my mouth, and no one ever told me it was weird. Have I gone through 26 years as a freak and never realized it?

    Any other freaky mouth breathers out there?

    It's probably not the best thing in the world for you if you're doing it most of the time. Air that comes in through the nose gets a lot of cleaning and humidifying that mouth air does not. If you're breathing mostly through your mouth, you may be more vulnerable to respiratory tract irritation and infections.

    I can't stand breathing through my mouth...whenever I have a cold and my nose is stopped up, I have an incredibly hard time going to sleep, and I have to take a ton of meds to knock me out. Plus, I've always heard you get a lot of sore throats and other problems from breathing through your mouth a lot.

    This exactly. Hmm..do you all breath really loud? If my nose is stuffy I'd rather die of asphyxiation than breathe through my mouth.

    I wonder if you could even correct this. Could it be 100% habit?

    I try to force myself to breath through my nose, and for me, that sounds so loud. When I breathe through my mouth, it's very quiet.

    There are treatments for it, but they're pretty intense, like taping your mouth shut to force yourself to breathe through your nose

    Same here! I don't ever remember a time I could breathe through my nose as a kid, and now when I get a clear moment its like I don't know how to as silly as that sounds.

    I hate breathing through my mouth but my stupid deviated septum and chronic sinus infections mean sometimes I have to... but its so annoying. My ex was a mouth breather and it annoyed me... so noisy!

    I do it when I sleep , b/c I always end up with a stuffy nose and can't breathe laying down. I believe this is the root of alot of my dental problems as my mouth gets dry every night.

    Mouth breather here as well. I wonder if it's a genetic thing?
