It is very much related to the arc of rotation and
distance from the reference point. When the jaws
are advanced, the natural tendency for the
movement is actually a clock-wise rotation because
of the muscle pull and the distance advanced.
Most (but not all) patients can benefit from
counter-clock rotation to a certain degree. There
are a lot of variables in determining the degree.
Combining advancement and rotation requires some
preoperative preparation and also some
measurements during the operation.
