Being mouthbreather sucks for health

The ability to breathe through the mouth is absolutely necessary when you are in society and local food is disgusting to you. Mouth breathing will help you not stand out.

This one says that mouth breathing is associated with an elevated nasal bridge and not a flattened nose (https://www.sup.org/books/extra/?id=...roduction.html):



Also Weston Price says that mouth breathers tended to have a narrow nose and "pinched nostrils" (https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...n-Price-(1939)).


"The lower photograph in Fig. 7 is of a family of four children in whose faces the tragic story is deeply written. Everyone is a mouth breather and everyone has rampant tooth decay. These people are products of modernization on this island which one time produced vigorous children and stalwart men and women. It is important to compare the faces of the children of the Isle of Bardsey shown in Fig. 7 below with those shown in Fig. 7 above living in an isolated district in the Isle of Harris."





Other parts where Weston Price associates being a mouth breather with having a narrow nose or a narrow face (https://archive.org/details/Nutritio...alDegeneration):

It is significant that nine of these individuals (one of the oldest pair is deceased, and the youngest twins are yet babes in arms) show marked narrowing of the nostrils and lack of development of the middle third of the face, narrowing of the face and tendency to be mouth breathers.

[...]

His granddaughter had pinched nostrils and narrowed face. Her dental arches were deformed and her teeth crowded. She was a mouth breather. She had the typical expression of the result of modernization after the parents had adopted the modern foods of commerce, and abandoned the oatcake, oatmeal porridge and sea foods.

[...]

She has a marked underdevelopment of the width of the face and dental arches. The nostrils are abnormally narrow and she tends to be a mouth breather.

Look at these disgusting Churkasoid elongated nostrils:

If you noticed, in the video picture, the arrow pointed at nosetip and not to nosebridge. When the maxilla collapses, the whole face starts to droop, including nose. It has to do with jaw angle and how the face grows. In mouthbreather condition the face grows downwards, in the non-mouthbreather condition the face grows forward (forward projecting). This means that the nonmouthbreather is more likely to have a pointy upturned nose (unless he has equally almost ridiculously high nosebridge), which is actually (especially if its a long upturned nose) less flattened at nosetip, than downward turned nose.

That makes more sense.

I searched a Latvian casting site for models whose nationality was listed as Estonian and whose age was listed as between 18 and 30 (http://balticcasting.com/en/database/item/women/). I then selected one photo of each model taken in a profile view, where I excluded models who didn't have a profile-view photo taken against a blue background:

These ones have high forward projection of the tip of the nose and a properly developed facial skeleton. The last one has a fairly long nose with a wavy bridge of the nose, but the shape of the nose still doesn't look woggy.



These ones have lower forward projection of the nose, but they still have good overall development of the facial skeleton, with large cheekbones.



These two have a nose that has high forward projection and that is fairly short and upturned. However their nose looks too large compared to their face, because their facial skeleton is too small and underdeveloped.



This one has a short upturned nose, but the tip of her nose also has low forward projection. She has an underdeveloped facial skeleton and a too short vertical distance between the eyes and the mouth. She has a face similar to the flat and short faces of bulldogs.



These ones have a woggy-looking nose that looks too downturned or convex. Their facial skeleton also looks underdeveloped, so that they don't have high cheekbones.

fascinating collection of face profile pics there.

i have had a problem with mouthbreathing in the past.

one factor, non-scientifically discerned by me, is to ensure you have very clean air in your work and living spaces (furnace, old vents, uncleaned dust buildup, chemicals, etc) and to aerobically exercise and obviously not smoking anything. this allows for ease of breathing, so that it is less difficult to breathe through your nose.

as well, trying as much as possible to intentionally keep your mouth closed and breathe through your nose.

i used to mouth breathe when i was younger, but have stopped as an adult. my nose bridge shape is basically the first one in TrVH774.jpg

Interesting. I never had my wisdom teeth pulled and I'm fine it didn't cause my teeth to go crooked. The only thing I noticed at first was I was biting the back of my cheek but even that has disappeared completely without me doing anything.

Everytime I walk around the restaurant in a local supermarket. The face mask period had its perks.
