Depends on cause: Conservative treatment like weight loss can sometimes remedy the problem. However, snoring can be a sign of more significant sleep disturbances - like obstructive sleep apnea. I perform the pillar procedure, which helps many of my patients with snoring only problems. Custom oral appliances can also help. Have full work-up first to r/o osa.

Snoring remedies: If you are overweight, losing weight not only reduces pressure on the airways, the tongue shrinks in size, further opening the airway. Don't sleep on your back ( sew a pocket in a t-shirt and put a tennis ball in it ). See an ENT to make sure that there isn't a problem with deviated septum, tonsils or adenoids. Use breathe rite strips. See a dentist to have a custom sleep device made.

Well: Of course, sleep apnea should generally be ruled out with snoring. But if you don't have osa, then there are some over-the-counter options. If these don't work, there are surgeries to help. Check this out: promising non-invasive snore therapy! http://wp.Me/p3oeih-8l.
