Mandibular changes influence hyoid bone position during the entire postoperative period, whereas stretching of suprahyoidal musculature seems to contribute to skeletal relapse. Mandibular advancement surgery alone possibly does not achieve a stable increase of pharyngeal airway size over a long-term period of 12 years.
