The VitalSleep snoring mouthpiece is now being offered to dentists as a way to help address their patients' snoring issues.

The flexible, bisphenol A (BPA)-free mouthpiece has U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance and is designed to significantly reduce snoring and improve breathing, according to Snore Reliever.

Although snoring problems tend to be treated by ear, nose, and throat doctors, dentists are now offering snoring aids as a valid treatment to their patient's snoring problems.
