Braces Vs Dental Facelift Procedure

Be very careful with any dentist who claims he or she can fix all of your dental problems in two weeks. It is not possible to correct a TMJ problem in two weeks. If you don't like your overbite but do like the shape and size of your teeth then a two week solution would also not work for you. It is always better in the long run to move teeth into their proper location vs. artificially aligning the teeth, especially when a TMJ issue is involved.

Although the restorative phase may only take two weeks, all pain must be resolved before placing restorations.  A general rule of thumb is that pain must be resolved for 3 months before restoring, so avoid a two week solution.    

Even with ortho, you may still end up needing restorations and will have only delayed treatment.  I would suggest  consultations with both the orthodontist and the restorative dentist to see what options are best.
