A potentially wishy-washy compromise for you then...
Do the first bit suggested in that treatment plan, i.e. steps 1& 2 then reassess, you're looking at a fairly long course of treatment just for the pre-surgical phase.
I think you're looking at very much worse case scenarios for the post surgical bit too, I'd say well over 95% of patients don't have any of the things you're worried about.
The issue with your jaw relationship is not something which can be answered very easily, seems to vary a lot from person to person I'm afraid.
If you want to sound all professional, call it a "Class 2", which is how dentists describe your bite.
Good luck with things, you're a very interesting case, so it's nice to get updates.

"A very slow discipline, practiced by very slow people" John McCrossan, my restorative tutor in Glasgow in the early 80s, lovely guy, sadly missed.
? My lips are sealed!!John had loads of memorable quotes. Some of which I can repeat in polite society
Take my advice and don't tell it to your orthodontist!
