With a name like LEAKYSEALS ... I think he provides a compelling observation.

And with a name like leakyseals- it's gotta taste good. 
You know- that's a part of my point. Not that masks can leak, it's that the fixes are very easy. Not rocket science. If someone is really concerned about fit, just google the internet for "hacks" or something. I've had patients who (identifying this issue) are so proud of showing me how they have sewn in lower metal straps. Several patients mentioned it. The (first) patient who did it was 83 years old. Good on her. Her solution was more eloquent than a coworker who showed me a rubber band thingee some other dentist made.
This is not rocket science!
