Puntos clave

• This study aims to quantitatively evaluate oral muscle tissue in relation to tongue posture and nasal ventilation.
• Utilized cone beam computed tomography to assess oral muscle tissue in children.
• Applied computational fluid dynamics to investigate nasal ventilation conditions.
• Analyzed correlations between tongue posture and muscle tissue metrics.
• Identified significant differences in oral muscle tissue among children with varying tongue postures.
• Demonstrated how low tongue posture affects nasal ventilation efficiency, suggesting potential clinical implications.
• Highlighted the importance of oral muscle evaluation in assessing overall respiratory health.
