Jaw surgery?

im 16 years old and literally got my braces off today. my "overjet" was 9mm before i got my braces fixed on and now has went down to 5mm. in my opinion it does not look like it has went down by 4mm. In general it just feels like my top teeth protrude too much still and it just feels like i have an under-developed bottom jaw. Now, do you think an orthodontist would allow me to get surgery on my jaw with this overjet? is it bad enough? I have been wanting this surgery for 2 years now!

please pardon my poop tash and my yellow teeth
