The telescoping mandibular advancing device is an orthodontic appliance used to promote the forward displacement of the lower jaw. The appliance comprises a pair of telescoping devices that attach on one end to the maxillary arch via a modified ball and socket device and on the other end to the mandibular arch via a modified ball and socket device. The modified ball and socket attachments are specifically designed to simplify installation and adjustment of the appliance. The device is also designed to minimize patient discomfort.
