Hi there
Thanks for writing in.
If you want to bring your lower jaw forward then you use headgear. Orthodontist would be the beat person to guide you further. If its slight movement then it could be done with out surgery. But if needs large movement then it might need surgical repositioning. Again orthodontist and oral surgeon advice is needed.
Thanks
