Appliances Used in Our Office

We use several oral appliances in our office depending on the size and shape of your mouth and tongue. Dr. Borowski will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each with you before making a final choice.

• O.R.M. Device
  The O.R.M.(r) type Device is a new generation custom-made mandibular repositioning  device with patented physiological articulation and unique comfortable splints to optimize patient acceptance and treatment efficacy.  It is recognised by many specialists as the most discrete and comfortable mandibular advancement device available and thousands of patients recognize the benefits of this simple to use yet extremely efficient therapeutic solution.

  In March 2009, Narval launched the O.R.M.(r) mandibular repositioning device using the Narval CADCAM Technology (Computer Aided-Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing) by laser sintering a polymer powder.   The CADCAM Technology offers more customization possibilities for the device and a greater mechanical strength.
