A continuous force, replaceable spring appliance which connects to the orthodontic archwires of the upper and lower jaws and teeth. The replaceable spring fits into a hollow telescoping cylinder assembly by unscrewing end caps. The spring can be made to exert a pushing force, pushing the telescoping cylinders apart as it works, or it can exert a pulling force, pulling the ends of the telescoping cylinders together. The telescoping assembly has end caps that have bars with balls attached. The balls fit into a socket assembly that is screw locked to the archwires. The ball and socket assembly allows a free range of motion, and prevents the appliance from pinching the cheeks and gums or being chewed by the teeth.
