Children with mouth breathing (MB) report poor quality of life. It is unknown whether improvement in MB is associated with improvement in behavior or quality of life. We hypothesized that in children with MB and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), improvement in MB is associated with improvement in behavior and quality of life, independent of improvement in OSA.
