Several things: If you are just a primary snorer, you can try simple things, like sleeping on your back (they sell t-shirts with tennis balls on the back), avoid alcohol and sedatives, and lose weight. If you are a robust snorer, you may have a conditon called sleep apnea which can be quite serious. See your md for a sleep study to determine this, and to discuss options.

Sleep on your side: If you are a mild snorer, sleeping on your side may be all you need to do. A bumper belt can help. If your snoring is more vigorous, you may have sleep apnea. You need to see your doctor who can order a sleep study. If you have sleep apnea options usually include a cpap, surgery or a special dental appliance. A dental appliance should only be provided by a dentist trained in dental sleep medicine.
