What’s the difference between breathing in through your nose and mouth? And why it’s recommended to do it through the nose?

There are myofunctional therapists to treat your breathing issues. My wife is a dental hygienist and a myofunctional therapist and treats exactly what you describe. There are books on how humans have unlearned to breathe through the nose mainly because of our cooked soft foods. Just in the last 100 or so years the human neck and facial muscles have weakened and in turn the actual structure of the bones have shrunk. Weirdly the books say the jaw and palette are the only bones that can grow and move because of the strength of the muscles involved in chewing. My wife will measure the width of the jaw before therapy and at the end and record the changes. Crowded teeth get more room without braces. Underbites are changed. The upper palette can change shape which allows the sinus cavity to expand. A great book to look up is called “breath, new science of the Lost art”. There are others if you’re interested.
