Gum Grafts, Wisdom Teeth Removal, Chin Implant, and Jaw Surgery...what is the Best Order?

What is the best order for the dental and facial procedures I'm considering? I need several gum grafts due to gum recession from grinding my teeth (likely from my jaw not lining up and a small overbite.) I have a wisdom tooth coming in (I'm 32) that possibly needs removal. And I'm considering a chin implant to balance a weak lower jaw and/or jaw surgery to correct the malocclusion. Does jaw surgery usually require braces/invisilign before and after the surgery? What is the best order for all?
