Anyone interested in following this line of thinking should look into Orthotropics[1] and Mike Mew.[2] A key insight is that bones are modeled not only according to a genetic program, but also in response to pressure - they move so as not to clash with one another, and reinforce themselves to deal with more demanding environments / greater pressures.
Personally I grew up with difficulty breathing through my nose, and didn't realize until my 30s that I had an undiagnosed tongue tie[3]. I've been applying orthotropic practices for several years and now breathe easily through my nose.

[3] It was noted a few times over my life by dentists, but in the form of noticing the symptoms of the issue, such as a tongue thrust swallowing pattern. In my case, my breathing was restricted, but an ENT could not see why - my best guess as to why was that my airway was constricted front to back (ventral to dorsal).
