Sounds like you have an edge to edge bite. I have seen many cases including MINE, in which an edge to edge can be corrected with the uses of braces only. The correction is not perfect but makes a big difference.
They use a palatal expander to widen your upper jaw and then use rubber bands to move the upper over the lower. A lot of times when wearing the palatal expander your upper jaw moves forward anyways.
I would find an ortho that has experience with all this before considering surgery. As this site recommends, sometimes you need 5 or 10 ortho opinions before finding the righ tone...
