What do people mean when they say bimax with CCW or CW?

[Deleted member 685]

Has it ever been illustrated what bimax with counterclockwise or clockwise rotation would look like and what the result would be?

CW probably makes your face longer and CCW the same length or even shorter, depends on the mandibular angle / gonial
CCW is better for aesthetics imo

Checked, I should get this together with a more forward upper jaw when I get bimax

Huge difference, although I don't really notice the midface or face becoming shorter. Hard to tell without front pic tho

well, let's say, CCW tries no to lengthen the face as much as CW
CCW moves the anterior part of maxilla forward and UPWARD, meaning that the mandible can swing up. Could create gummy smile or whatever
