Agree with all other posts - and...
Glad to hear you are possibly getting a full face mask.
I've had several patients say their bad breath went away when they stopped mouth breathing.
Mouth breathing and nasal masks or Nasal Aire/Nasal pillows just isn't a good mix. Too much of the pressure of the CPAP escapes out the mouth and the sleep apnea returns.
And no- taping the mouth shut isn't a good idea.
