A patient interface device includes a support member, a sealing assembly attached to the support member, and a pair of contacting members. The contacting members are coupled to the support member on each side of the sealing assembly. The contacting members are each configured and arranged to contact the user over a limited contacting region, which corresponds to a junction of the orbicularis oris facial muscle, the zygomaticus facial muscle, and the risorius facial muscle.

The patient interface device of claim 1, wherein the sealing assembly comprises a pair of prongs, a cushion, or a cushion and a faceplate. 3. The patient interface device of claim 1, further comprising an angled conduit member having a first end received within the third ring member of the first headgear support and a second end adapted to be coupled to a source of the flow of gas. 4. The patient interface device of claim 1, further comprising a headgear assembly operatively coupled to the first headgear support and the second headgear support. 5. The patient interface device of claim 1, wherein the sealing assembly is rotatable relative to the first contacting member and the second contacting member. 6. The patient interface device of claim 1, wherein the support member and the sealing assembly are coupled together to define a gas flow path. 7. A patient interface device comprising: a support member;a sealing assembly operatively coupled to the support member, wherein the sealing assembly is adapted to contact a user and communicate a flow of gas to an airway of the user;a first support frame operatively coupled to a first end portion of the support member, the first support member having a first ring portion provided around an outer surface of the first end portion;a second support frame operatively coupled to a second end portion of the support member opposite the first end portion, the second support frame having a second ring portion provided around an outer surface of the second end portion, wherein the first support frame is separate from the second support frame;a first contacting member operatively coupled to the first support frame;a second contacting member operatively coupled to the second support frame;a first headgear support operatively coupled to the first end portion of the support member, the first headgear support having a third ring portion received within the first end portion of the support member; anda second headgear support operatively coupled to the second end portion of the support member, the second headgear support having a fourth ring portion received within the second end portion of the support member, wherein the first support frame and the second support frame are flexible or semi-rigid, wherein the first contacting member and the second contacting member are each configured and arranged to contact the user over a limited contacting region, and wherein the limited contacting region corresponds to an area over a maxilla at a canine fossa region, which includes a valley at a base of a zygomatic bone but does not overlie the zygomatic bones. 8. The patient interface device of claim 7, wherein the sealing assembly comprises a pair of prongs, a cushion, or a cushion and a faceplate. 9. The patient interface device of claim 7, further comprising an angled conduit member having a first end received within the third ring member of the first headgear support and a second end adapted to be coupled to a source of the flow of gas. 10. The patient interface device of claim 7, further comprising a headgear assembly operatively coupled to the first headgear support and the second headgear support. 11. The patient interface device of claim 7, wherein the sealing assembly is rotatable relative to the first contacting member and the second contacting member. 12. The patient interface device of claim 7, wherein the support member and the sealing assembly are coupled together to define a gas flow path.
