After thinking about my experience with braces this theory came to my mind.
The alveolar bone and overall tissue surrounding the teeth is very malleable. My braces were able to move my teeth by more than 2 milimiters per week. The teeth will move and the alveola remodel when exposed to a directional force. Even in adulthood. This is a FACT. It's what ortodontics are based on.
Using this you should be able to move your mandible forward by up to 4 mm per week (2 mm for both upper and lower teeth).
What you have to do is simply clench your teeh (ideally all of them should touch, but the premolars are crucial) and then force your jaw forwards. When you experience pain you know your teeth are moving because the nerves are getting stretched.
If you aren't able to align your all your teeth proprely your upper incisors might get angled up too much. To counter this, try jaw pulling. It's done by placing your index finger onto top incisors and thumb under the chin, inside the mandible and pushing them in opposite directions. All while clenched. This will prevent the upper teeth from moving too much while still setting your jaw forward.
