Hullihen was the first to perform a “V” shaped osteoetomy in

mandible to correct the anterior open bite

Kole modified Hullihen’s procedure by excising a
wedge of bone from symphysis and the inferior
border of the mandible to shorten facial height
Thoma suggested the Y – shaped and trapezoid
mandibular body ostectomy to correct open bite
associated with prognathism
Caldwell et al introduced the C- osteotomy as a
correction of pen bite
Obwegwser introduced this technique now used to correct
all types of jaw deformities, especially effective in
correcting skeletal open bite related to retrognathia
Osteotomies extending from the sigmoid notch vertically
behind the inferior alveolar nerve foramen to the inferior
border or angle
Used for mandibular advancement
Pichler & Trauner described the inverted L osteotomy to correct
the skeletal open bite
