A member asked:
I have an unusually high palate. is that something bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Due to environmental factors affecting breathing in growth and development, these may contribute to palate shape in people who mouthbreathe. Just because there is a high palate, it alone is not a sign or a predictor of an underlying condition. If you are healthy, breathe well, and show no other predilection to another syndrome, then i would not be too concerned.
