The study will analyse the efficacy of BTX-A to avoid a relapse after advancement of the mandible (BSSO – bilateral sagittal split osteotomy) with more than 5 mm. The tension of the muscle complex of the anterior floor of the mouth can cause a relapse of the advancement of the mandible in the follow up.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary efficacy variable is the percentage of responders during the study. A responder is defined as: Somebody whose SNB angle between first postoperative and following postoperative radiograph is < 1° (corresponds to less than 1.7 mm relapse). SNB Angle: Sella – Nasion – B-Point Angle. The difference will be measured on standardized radiographs (lateral cephalogram at 1.5 m distance) between first postoperative radiograph (2-3 days postoperatively) and the subsequent radiographs (6, 12 and 24 months postoperatively). In all 3 controls the data has to meet the benchmarks of a responder, otherwise it will be counted as a relapse.;Secondary Objective: All secondary variables (changes in SNB angle etc. ) will be analyzed descriptively. ;Primary end point(s): Investigation of the SNB angle at each visit;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this endpoint difference between 1st week and 6 weeks after surgery and 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery will be measured on standardized radiographs | — |

| Secondary end point(s): All secondary variables (changes in SNB angle, distance pogonion to postgonion, distance gnathion to condylon, post airway space, muscle belly) will be analyzed descriptively. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at the same timepoints as the primary end point | — |
