Possible Side Effects of Having a Narrow Palate
A narrow palate is often accompanied by dental concerns like crowded teeth, crossbites and impacted teeth.
It can also cause breathing issues due to obstruction of the nasal cavity. For some people, this obstruction may lead to a habit of mouth breathing. Obstructive sleep apnea is also common in people with a narrow palate due to narrowed airways. Some people may also experience speech variances due to changes in the way the tongue touches the palate when speaking.
