Quick takeaways
- Placing the tongue at the roof of the mouth with the tip touching it allows for better nasal function, airway formation, and facial development in children, creating a larger airway through the nose and facilitating easier breathing.
- Deep breaths that engage the diaphragm and fill the lungs more efficiently are key to proper breathing, while improper tongue position and upper chest breathing can lead to issues like snoring and inefficient breathing.

Importance of Tongue Position in Breathing
The tongue position plays a crucial role in breathing correctly. Placing the tongue at the roof of the mouth with the tip touching it allows for better nasal function, airway formation, and facial development in children. This position creates a larger airway through the nose and facilitates easier breathing. It is recommended to slightly pull the tongue back from the front top teeth to ensure optimal positioning and reap the benefits of nose breathing, such as calming the nervous system.
