Nasal masks versus fulll face masks. Why one over the other?

Hello Fine Folks!

I'm sure this has been posted before, so please forgive me.

Without knowing which is best, why would one use a full face mask versus a nasal mask? Are there consistent key reasons, say other than mouth breathing? Benefits?

I'm using a full face mask now and it has its challenges.

Thank you!!

If you use a nasal mask and get a good fit, it's still possiable to have the treatment pressure exit your mouth so badly you mighty as well not use it.

With a FF Mask that seals, the mouth is covered. So even if you mouthbreath, you still have treatment. It gives you one less reason to fail. Jim

Since you use a nasal mask, what has been your personal experience?
