FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of a telescopic orthodontic apparatus of the present invention in which the two principal elements forming the apparatus are situated in a “closed” position with the distal rings aligned, the reverse side elevation view being a mirror image thereof.

FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 in which the two principal elements forming the apparatus are situated in an “open” position with the distal rings aligned, the reverse side elevation view being a mirror image thereof.

FIG. 3 is perspective view of the apparatus of the present invention in which the two principal elements forming the apparatus are rotated with respect to each other so the distal rings are not aligned, the apparatus being situated in a “closed” position.

FIG. 4 is another perspective view of one end of the apparatus of the present invention showing, in greater detail, the telescopic connection between the two principal elements and one of the distal rings at one end of the apparatus, the distal ring at the other end being identical.

FIG. 5 is an elevation view taken from the left side of FIG. 1; and,

FIG. 6 is an elevation view taken from the right side of FIG. 1.
