A laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty or LAUP is one common type of oral surgery for snoring. However, because the causes of snoring are so varied, oral maxillofacial surgery isn’t always the best solution. A complete oral exam as well as an ear, nose and throat exam is essential. In many cases, simple adjustments can help – like sleeping on your side and avoiding drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes before bedtime.
