I was expecting CCW since my mandible is recessed downwards, but surgeon will give me:
- maxilla segmentation (means cutting it in half) and impaction of ~3mm
- clockwise rotation of the back of the maxilla to fix posterior open bite and linear advancement of the front
- mandibular advancement
- advancement genioplasty
The entire block isn't being rotated clockwise according to my surgeon, only the back. He said CCW isn't suitable for me because I'd end up with malocclusion since my skeletical profile is class II but dentally I'm class I getting close to top-on-top relation (incisors top almost touching), hence no overjet. Makes much sense and I've chosen a very skilled and experient surgeon, but being a PSLer I still have my doubts. But since my maxilla is being impacted upwards and my mandible is being advanced regardless, the aftermath will be aesthetic improvement, right?
