> If the teeth are crowded, remove a couple
When do you propose to do this? You can't do it until the final set of teeth have come in. If you do it later, then it might address the overcrowding of the teeth themselves, but it's too late to do anything about the size or shape of the jaw itself. Maybe you can affect the position/alignment of the jaw somewhat. That can be beneficial in many ways, but I'm not sure it would address the snoring issue.
