How is that possible? To have the jaws moving in two different directions seems a good way to wind up with an open bite.
I feel something must have been misunderstood.

I was confused as well as Gunson mentioned it this way during the consultation but in the surgical plan that my ortho received he only mentioned CCW rotation.

I got a little excited, thinking her local surgeon drew up that plan, only to re-read and see it was actually a Gunson proposal. Bummer - OP it's tough finding a cheaper Gunson surgeon that can do THAT surgical plan you got there, as my proposed posterior downgraft amount from Gunson looks very similar, a little more posterior downgrafting even. Surgeon's seem to conk out at 3-4mm of a posterior downgraft where Gunson likes to do more than double that to avoid aesthetically over-advancing the maxilla, I think.
Are you considering having a surgery with Gunson?
