Full Face Masks : Effectiveness!

Full Face Masks : Effectiveness in treating oral air loss?

We have had several forum members, who have been raising questions about correcting oral air way loss, while they are undergoing their C.P.A.P. therapy .

I use to have a significant problem, until I started using an ace bandage to maintain my mandible in place. But I have been wondering if a full face mask might be a more effective way to improve the efficiency of my therapy.

My questions are:

1. Do we have any forum members that have tried full face masks?

2. For those that have, how has it been working for you?

3. Could you share with us any pros and cons to consider?

4. Were there any problems with finding the right size to use? And how was the correct size of mask determined for you?

Thank you for taking the time to help me with this question in advance.


Sleep tight and God bless,

Octavian
