Outcomes of maxilla impaction (Lefort 1)

[conquistador]

What effect does Lefort 1 (maxillary impaction) have on the lower third? (If you have long face, gummy smile and recessed jaw)?
Does it produce CCW rotation?

Is the same thing feasible with TADs? Such as in this study: https://meridian.allenpress.com/ang...reatment-of-vertical-maxillary-excess-without
