RE: Mouth leak while using full face mask
(07-09-2023, 02:31 PM)Old Steve Wrote: I use both FF and a nasal mask.  When using my ResMed f20 FF mask at 10cm I could develop a major mask leak near my mouth.  The leak was occurring due to the tightened mask pushing back against my chin causing my mouth to open, which would then break the mask seal.  I started using a mouth guard with no hole and it really helps to keep my chin from moving back and down...no more leaks.  I also use the mouth guard when I am using my nasal mask as I am a big time mouth breather and it helps with that too.

Please tell me more about this mouth guard.  I use a mouth tape and still have leaks and am at wits end.  I only use nasal masks.  TIA
