Apertognathia

Hullihen performed the first "V" shaped osteotomy of the mandible to correct anterior open bites. Kole modified this procedure by excising a wedge of bone from the mandible's symphysis and inferior border to shorten facial height. Thoma suggested Y-shaped and trapezoid mandibular body osteotomies to correct open bites associated with prognathism.
