  "abstract": "The masses of excited charmed mesons are shown to decrease by $\\sim (50-150)$~MeV due to a flattening of the confining potential at large distances, which effectively takes into account open decay channels. The scale of the mass shifts is similar to that in charmonium for $\\psi(4660)$ and $\\chi_{c0}(4700)$. The following masses of the first excitations: $M(2\\,{}^3P_0)=2874$~MeV, $M(2\\,{}^3P_2)=2968$~MeV, $M(2\\,{}^3D_1)=3175$~MeV, and $M(2\\,{}^3D_3)=3187$~MeV, and second excitations: $M(3\\,{}^1S_0)=3008$~MeV, $M(3\\,{}^3S_1)=3062$~MeV, $M(3\\,{}^3P_0)=3229$~MeV, and $M(3\\,{}^3P_2) =3264$~MeV, are predicted. The other states with $L=0,1,2$ and $n_r \\geq 3$ have their masses in the region $M(nL)\\geq 3.3$~GeV.",
