Generally, mouth-taping strips do not cause suffocation; using them for correction does not typically lead to such issues.
While breathing is normally done through the nose, some individuals-particularly when relaxed, such as while reading, sleeping, or playing-tend to breathe through their mouths. Occasional use of mouth-taping strips does not cause adverse effects; however, prolonged use may potentially damage local mucosal tissue or, in some cases, lead to oxygen deprivation.
Mouth-taping strips can help correct mouth breathing by encouraging nasal breathing; however, they should not be used if there is severe nasal congestion, as this could pose a risk of suffocation.
