Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is about Mouth breathing adolescents. This study is a comparative study between buteyko and diaphragmatic breathing technique to check that which technique is more suitable for mouth breathing children.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The substitution of mouth breathing for nasal breathing or mixed breathing where nose is supplemented by mouth is characterized as mouth breathing syndrome. Mouth breathing results in many facial, occlusal, postural and functional changes. It also has the adverse effect on the memory of young children. Other than that bad breath, sleeping issues are also the major manifestation of mouth breathing syndrome. The buteyko breathing technique has been known to establish the mouth breathing in asthmatic patients and improve their quality of life. This study is to compare the efficacy of both technique among the adolescents with mouth breathing syndrome.
