Each lateral link includes ball pivots having an opening for receiving an end of an element of traction, and each tray includes two lateral seats for accommodating a ball pivot connected to an element of traction so that the lateral links are connected to the trays via a ball pivot joint. A corresponding lateral link and a method for assembling the mandibular protrusion device are also disclosed.
