Resumo: This research aimed to correlate the oral nasal breathing with the anatomic and functional alterations of the craniofacial complex by means of questionnaires, x-rays and fast clinical tests. It was an analytical study of the observational case control type in quantitative research, carried out in the town of Sousa-PB. In the research, one hundred and forty-three children and teenagers, from both genders, were included as part of a universe of 887 students, varying from 06 up to 14 years old, which were divided into two groups. One of them is a control group: nasal breathers whereas the other one is an experimental group of oral nasal breathers. The results showed a prevalence of 51% of oral nasal breathers in the sample, existing, thus, a meaningful association between oral nasal breathing and the variables related to atypical swallowing, absence of labial sealing, altered phonation, labial hypotonicity, deep hard palate, hypertrophic palatine tonsils, breathless, fast fatigue, taste decreasing, halitosis, dark circle under the eyes, frequent sneezing and saliva while speaking. However, as concern all upper and lower goniac angles, it was observed that the media were approximate between the two groups.
