It's much easier to correct a high occlusal plane when someone has an underbite, which is what the patient has. You can tell they just moved the pateint's lower jaw back which will naturally lower the plane. Moving the jaw forward and doing this is much harder.

Pretty sure they impacted the maxilla as well.

Don't think so since there are no signs of open bite or gummy smile.

He has obvious lip strain in the before (his lips are open int the pre-op ceph). But not showing their patients smiling is kinda dishonest, considering how important a smile is (I bet because he was over impacted  and now has too little tooth show in the after). 

To change the occlusal plane angle, you have to alter the maxilla in the vertical dimension - impaction, downgraft, combination thereof.

After? Changing the occlusal plane accurately is hard.  I think even A&G have cases where they over impacted.
