If your own efforts to stop snoring do not help, consult your physician or an otolaryngologist (ENT, or ear, nose, and throat doctor).
If you try a dental appliance for your snoring, you will need to see a dentist specializing in these devices.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)

To keep your airway open during sleep, a machine at your bedside blows pressurized air into a mask that you wear over your nose or face.

Dental appliances, oral devices, and lower jaw positioners

Dental devices, which often resemble the mouth guards worn by athletes, can help open your airway by bringing your lower jaw or your tongue forward during sleep.

Most of the dental devices are acrylic and fit inside your mouth; others fit around your head and chin to adjust the position of your lower jaw. A dentist which specializes in sleep disorders can help fit you for one of these devices.

Surgery
Certain surgeries, including Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), Thermal Ablation Palatoplasty (TAP), tonsillectomy, and adenoidectomy, increase the size of your airway by surgically removing tissues or correcting abnormalities.

Using a laser, scalpel, or microwaving probe (radiofrequency energy), a surgeon may remove tonsils, adenoids, or excess tissue at the back of the throat or inside the nose, or reconstruct the jaw.

• The Pillar procedure, or palatal implantation, is a new surgery which has shown promising results for snorers. There are mall plastic implants, less than an inch-long in size; they are inserted into the soft palate using a syringe-like instrument.

This procedure is usually performed in a doctor’s office under local anesthesia, with little pain and mild side effects.

The scar tissue builds up around the implants, causing the tissue of the soft palate to stiffen which ceases the vibrations that cause snoring.

The disadvantage of this procedure, and any surgical cure, for that matter, is the expense, and most insurance does not cover surgery for snoring. 

Visit your doctor or dentist to discuss the medical treatments available and to decide which might help your snoring.
