Re: want to give CPAP a try again...but discouraged

How will a full face mask help chipmunk cheeks? Chipmunk cheeks result when you are using a nasal mask or a nasal pillows mask, but the oral cavity is not sufficiently blocked off from the nasal cavity by the position of the tongue and upper palate*.
