Sometimes: An ENT doctor may be of help if you have extremely large tonsils and a very broad and long uvula. Surgical removal of these structures may significantly reduce your snoring or sleep disorder. You should have a sleep study first and determine if you are a candidate for a CPAP machine. The base of the tongue is the major cause of sleep disorders. So a dental appliance may help.
