Hi
So I am trying the new Vitera mask because I feel my mouth leaks with the Dreamports and I have been mega congested lately. Can anyone make some recommendations on these leaks or my pressure settings?

Re: Some recommendations
Those leaks are not too bad, far less than mine on some nights. Are they waking you up or affecting your sleep?

Re: Some recommendations
Except for two relatively short large leaks, your leak data is quite acceptable in terms of size. So if these leaks are not waking you up and/or keeping you from getting back to sleep when you do wake up, you could choose to just ignore them.jlsmithseven wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 4:17 amHi

But if the leaks are waking you up or keeping you from getting back to sleep, then, yes, you do need to do something.
Full face masks, like the Vitera, are designed to allow mouth breathing. But sometimes when the jaw sags open, that can cause the mask to spring some pretty large leaks simply because the shape of the face has changed. I'll leave it to folks who use full face masks on a regular basis to give you tips on how to prevent that from happening.
