    I started to practice eating with my mouth closed, but I have breathing issues after eating. How do I overcome this?
    Community Answer
    When your nose is plugged or you just can't breathe, take smaller bites, or pause your chewing and take a breath through a slightly opened mouth. If "after eating" refers to after you swallow, you may have other problems.

    How do I chew with my mouth closed if I can't close my mouth due to injuries?
    Community Answer
    If you can't close your mouth, you can't chew with your mouth closed. Just apologize ahead of time to the people you're eating with, I'm sure they'll understand.

    My mom asks me to stop chewing with my mouth open and I just can't seem to stop. How do I chew with my mouth closed?
    Community Answer
    If you can't stop, try to chew with your mouth slightly open. The food won't be as visible, and it will be more helpful.

    Should I practice chewing with my mouth closed if I can't stop chewing with it open?
    Community Answer
    You should absolutely practice, because if you don't, you'll never get in the habit of chewing with your mouth closed.

    Does chewing food with one side of my teeth affect anything?
    Community Answer
    Yes, the side of your jawline that you eat with will eventually grow much larger than the other side.

    You could avoid chewing on that side of your mouth by using your tongue to push the food away from the “forbidden” side before you chew.
