Introduction
I'm p much a newgen gray who's lurked on here for a bit but I figured it's worth finally making a post.
Here are a couple of lateral cephalograms, one of which is marked w all the measurement points:
Ignore the beak. I'm caucus/mediterranean, not a kike.
Either way, the following are my ceph measurements, the most important of which is the Wit's appraisal:
Wit's appraisal basically tells you exactly how many mm your jaws are misaligned. It's a good measurement as it bypasses compensation; my recession is a bit hidden due to previously having invisalign. Positive values on a Wit's are a recessed maxilla; negative values are a recessed mandible. As you can see, my maxilla is ~6mm recessed, (Class III Malocclusion) and when combined with a few of these other measurements (cross-referenced with ideals), I need my maxilla moved forward+ccw rotation.
How I'm gonna get bimax
You might be asking, "hey you retard fag gray, how are you gonna pay for bimax? Also, why bimax instead of LF1?" Good question, here's the answer:
Yes my maxilla's recessed, but not enough to just get LF1. They'd have to remove two teeth; fuck that. Ortho told me bimax is ideal. Next, insurance coverage:
My breathing is hella impacted by my maxilla's recession. The ANS-PNS measurement shows that my maxilla has a fully developed length, but the Wits appraisal still shows its recession. Due to this, it cuts off my airway. I at least have UARS, or Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome, if not full OSA, or Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
So, I'm here right now: I've been told by my ortho that I'm a valid candidate for bimax due to my skeletal class III malocclusion. I've been referred for a sleep study now, advice would be hella appreciated on how to worsen my apnea to make sure I get this shit. Yes, I'm getting bimax more for looks than function, I wouldn't be posting here otherwise. If this sleep study goes well, insurance covers my bimax.

thanks @Clavicular for teaching me abt osteotomies, ur gonna help me breathe better and mog
If anybody else is looking into getting bimax, I'd recommend contacting a dentist or orthodontist to get your lateral ceph. Do the measurements yourself if you're not a sub-70iqcel, then go talk to an ortho about your findings.
