Humidifier: Mouth breathing can occur mainly due to obstruction in the nasal passages which can be due to structural obstructions, inflammation as well as dry air. The simplest solution is to try a humidifier at night. If you have any symptoms, like headache, snoring, gasping, or sinusitis, contact your ENT physician. Mouth breathing by itself is not a disorder which has to be treated. Hope this help!

Nasal obstruction: This is usually related to nasal obstruction: deviated septum, hypertrophied turbinates, nasal polyps. Allergic rhinitis is also very common cause. Consult with a surgeon in your area who specializes in this area.
