Abstract: Objective This study aims to analyze the mechanism of the effect of mouth breathing on hard palate descent and malocclusion by measuring the pressure of the upper surface of the hard palate with different nasal ventilation.Methods The three-dimensional models of the upper airway and nasal cavity of the healthy volunteer were reconstruc-ted by using cone beam computed tomography data and finite element software. The boundary conditions and numerical simulations were set under different breathing patterns after repairing the cavities, smoothing the model, and meshing.Results The upper airway and nasal cavity models of the healthy volunteer were established. Moreover, the pressure distribution cloud maps of inspiratory and expiratory of nasal breathing at different cross-sections of the upper airway and those of different nasal ventilation were obtained. The pressure on the upper surface of the hard palate with different nasal ventilation was also calculated.Conclusion With the decrease of nasal ventilation, the pressure of inspiratory airflow on the upper surface of the hard palate increased gradually, whereas that of expiratory decreased gradually. Both were getting closer to atmospheric pressure. The pressure gradient in the nasal cavity of inspiratory and expiratory decreased gradually.
