The common belief is that closing the mouth can mitigate the negative effects of mouth breathing during sleep. However, mouth breathing may serve as an essential route to bypassing obstruction along the nasal route (eg, the velopharynx).</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To investigate the role of mouth breathing as an essential route in some patients with OSA and its association with upper airway anatomical factors.</p><p><strong>Design, setting, and participants: </strong>This nonrandomized clinical trial included participants diagnosed with OSA who underwent drug-induced sleep endoscopy. Patients were stratified into 3 quantiles based on oral-breathing level (quantile 1: oral airflow < 0.05 L/min; quantile 2: oral airflow 0.05-2.2 L/min; quantile 3: oral airflow > 2.2 L/min).</p><p><strong>Interventions: </strong>Closing the mouth during sleep during alternating breaths by applying pressure to the mentum until teeth are in occlusion.</p><p><strong>Main outcomes and measures: </strong>The primary outcome was total inspiratory flow defined as the change in airflow in the transition from mouth relaxed to mouth closed, analyzed overall and by 3 oral-breathing quantiles.

Mouth closure increased total inspiratory flow by 27.8 percentage points overall (β, 1.0 [95% CI, 0.4-1.9] L/min). However, outcomes varied based on the degree of baseline oral breathing. No association was found for 10 patients with near-zero mouth breathing (0.9 [95% CI, -0.2 to 2.1] L/min). Airflow improved with mouth closure in 32 patients with moderate levels of mouth breathing (2.0 [95% CI, 1.3-2.7] L/min), whereas it worsened in patients with high levels of mouth breathing (-1.9 [95% CI, -3.1 to -0.6] L/min).
