To my last entry, I would add that your face, as is, (via the photos you show) would NOT be considered 'long'. Not by any relative measurements that would go into assessments of 'long'.
What you percieve as 'long' would be attributed to the illusion of such by:
a: ears sticking out which will make the face look more narrow. (illusionary narrowness)
b: Narrow mandible. (real narrowness)
So, narrowness, whether it's an illusion or real or combo thereof will yield the SUBJECTIVE assessment of 'long'. But in terms of OBJECTIVE measures (from your photo), it isn't 'long'. Nor do you have a 'high' mandibular plane. Any anticipated appearance of 'excess' length would tend to be offset by the lower face looking wider when brought forward and also a genio aimed at shortening the chin during the advancement of it.
You could have impaction which is CCW. But you should also be aware that a key objective in favor of CCW is to get the maxilla at ANS-PNS closer to the horizont. In your case, it looks like (from your ceph) is angled away from the horizont and would be angled more away with CCW.
Then there is the MYSTERY of your nose which you have blocked out. A rotation, whether it be CCW or Clock Wise will affect how the nose looks. Just saying that in the absence of visual nose information but in the presence of seeing the orientation of ANS-PNS, I'm just pointing out why i would not be so quick to suggest CCW. Not telling you not to do it. I'm just explaining why I have not suggested it.
I have no issue with anyone else suggesting it or your asking for it to your max fax. I'm just explaining why I haven't.

As to your 'jaw jut' question, let's look at that in terms of a simple mechanical analysis as to the displacements you make while doing it. Do to your front teeth, to get PAST them to jut your jaw out, you have to drop it down to bring it more forward. It looks like you would have to do that just to get the lower teeth to meet the upper teeth edge to edge. Liking that look is a sign in favor of the surgery. Even if after getting the teeth to meet edge to edge, you went beyond that and bit down into an UNDER bite and liked that look (with your mouth shut of course), it another indicator in favor of the BSSO. The former (edge to edge tooth meet) increases the the angle of the mandibular plane because you are dropping the jaw down to make that movement. The latter, not so much. So, some combination of both. Both are indicators in favor of the surgery. But NEITHER jaw juts predict and show you 'exactly' how you will look after the surgery.
A ceph displacement proposal should give you a better idea of the profile contour changes.
Alright got it. Would a linear advancement provide a result similar to jutting my jaw? Or would it be better?
