What exactly does clockwise rotation do to a face?
« on: May 07, 2026, 06:48:12 AM »
My mandibular plane is quite long and my occlusal angle is around 8 degrees. Thinking about getting clockwise bimax as it was suggesting for me. How exactly would this help me?

It will make the face longer and potentially more narrow, depending on the starting point.
Millimeters are miles on the face.

Doesn’t it only make the face longer if it’s downgrafted?
