My spouse snores and keeps me up at night. I have heard a dentist might be able to prescribe an appliance that prevents snoring. Can you help?

Yes, we are able to make appliances that reduce snoring. These devices have also proven effective in treating some forms of sleep apnea, which can cause many health problems. Studies have shown that as many as 25 percent of people that snore have some form of sleep apnea.
