Hi i’ve been told I need surgery to align my jaw but will need to wear braces for two years prior to this, are the braces necessary?

Q.
hi, my jaw is not correctly defined as my bottom jaw is alot backwards making my top teeth look like theu stick out, i have been advised as a teenager that i would need my bottom jaw straightened through surgery to allign me top and bottom teeth to correct my bite, but before this procedure can be done they are (nhs dental hospital) advising me to have braces for around 2 years to straighten my teeth, what my question is then is that, would i need to use the 2 year braces to allign them or could i use a more modern method by which i mean quicker method and then have the surgery?
A.
No, fixed braces are your only proper way of straightening the teeth prior to surgery
