Best face mask for persons without any teeth

Anyone managing to use face masks when all their teeth are gone, and what works best???

I don't know how you feel about covering your entire face, but here's an option.

This Full Face Mask anchors under the chin rather than under the lip.

i use the quattro fx. don't overthink the masks. the cushions don't touch the teeth and the jaws don't touch each other. the mask goes in the same place teeth or not. 10 yrs experience with this.

Thank you all for advice!

I can't see how having teeth or not would effect a mask. Anyone else have different knowledge?

you may have to try a few different masks. Call your doc or dme and ask if you can try some different ones. Explain your problem. Take your machine and try them out under pressure. Don't over tight the mask, often the inflation or air pressure will seal it. Good luck and keep asking questions.

I agree with esel, but call the DME first--they should have a machine on hand
to try masks under pressure. In the US, they should, machines are their business.
My dealer likes to trot out the latest and greatest--simple merchandising.
