Nasal or full face mask: which one is better for me?

Using the right mask is essential to the success of your treatment. You will need a mask this is comfortable and fits properly. It should form a good seal on your face so that air doesn’t leak as this would be uncomfortable and make your therapy less effective. A nasal mask which covers just the nose is the most common. However, some people breath through their mouth when they sleep. In this case, a full face mask that covers both the nose and mouth is the best option. Nasal pillows, 2 small oval shaped cushions that are inserted into the nose, are now becoming more popular. This type of Nasal mask offers a clear field of vision. Another option would be a nasal mask and chinstrap. This will prevent the jaw from opening during sleep and still provide for effective therapy.
