Has anyone experienced their gums getting sores due to the pressure of your mask? I use a mask that covers my nose only. I have it set tight enough not to leak air but it’s evidently pressing hard enough on my upper gums to cause sores. I’ve tried using nasal pillows and can’t absolutely stand them. I’ve tried the gel filled masks but they are cumbersome and large. I’m trying not to complain but I’ve used a CPAP for 24 years. So, a novice, I’m not but hopefully this forum can offer suggestions.
