I'm going to just go for it.  Moving teeth isn't that hard.  Will keep you updated!

Haha, that’s bad ass. Very interesting. Do you have anything on growing the mandible forward as an adult?

Aligners are not meant for more than minor tooth movement.  That being said...nobody has equipment to grow the jaw forward as an adult of which I am aware.  However....I do suspect that it is possible.  Most all the chin-advancing systems operate on bite-planes in the posterior portion of the mouth.  They deprogram the bite but also intrude teeth.  I don’t think intruding teeth always makes sense.  I don’t believe that is necessary as it’s not growing...but reshaping.  I want to find ways to grow the lower portion of the mandible.  I don’t believe in long stints (more than a week or 2) of deprogramming.
