I think my tonsils or my tongue is causing my snoring. i have an appt with an ent next week but in the meantime ive been researching night guards; some people say they can cause bite misalignment and that is deterring me from considering them. help?

Please refrain from self-diagnosis and management. It is nearly always inaccurate and sometimes dangerous. Wait to see what your ENT says. Good luck.
