A snore reduction appliance can be constructed for the atrophic mandibular edentulous patient. Two endosseous implants can be surgically placed that retain a complete mandibular denture and, in turn, an overlying bimaxillary removable snore reduction appliance. A dual laminate appliance is vacu-form fitted to the maxillary teeth and the mandibular denture and luted in a protrusive relation with cold cure acrylic. The appliance maintains the mandible in a protrusive position to open the upper airway to reduce snoring.
