    This study aims to find the relationship between mouth breathing and foot type in children aged 8 to 13 years. Various tests were conducted to determine mouth breathing, such as the cotton test, water test, Glatzel mirror test, and water retention test. To determine foot type, a footprint was obtained using a plantar footprint device and the Hernández Corvo method, with the help of an orthopedic specialist. Once the results were obtained, they were entered into an Excel sheet for evaluation and comparison. According to the results, no significant relationship was found between mouth breathing and foot type in children aged 8 to 13 years from the Juan Pablo II Parish community. The chi-square test was used to establish the relationship between the qualitative variables. When performing the different breathing tests, it was observed that the participants' parents were unaware of the type of breathing their children had. Therefore, it is recommended that they undergo dental checkups to correct their breathing habits. Similarly, children who present flat or extreme cavus feet are advised to visit an orthopedic specialist to correct or address the problem.
