Comment by Dr. Sosenko — April 3, 2013 @ 3:02 amThere are quite a few options for snoring treatment. Devices can be made in one visit which tend to be short term type of devices. Most longer lasting devices take between 2 and 4 weeks to have made, sometimes quicker. Cost vary quite a bit between the short term and longer term devices but may be covered under your medical insurance depending if the snoring is linked with a medical diorder called obstructive sleep apnea.
Best place to start is to to be screened for these devices and further discuss your snoring symptoms.
