It can happen during sleep, during the day, or both. It is commonly discussed in dentistry, orthodontics, and sleep health because it can affect the mouth\u2019s moisture balance and oral tissues. It may be temporary (for example, during nasal congestion) or more persistent (habitual or due to airway obstruction)."}
