How severe is my under bite? Do I particularly need surgery? How long will it take for my teeth to completely be fixed? (Photo)

I am a 16 year old.I can not afford to get surgery because the healing process is too long. It will get in the way of my softball career. When I was little, maybe 8 years old, my orthodontist gave me some type of night gear that I wore with a retainer and it pushed by jaw back. It completely worked although, I accidently broke it and never got another one and my under bite went back. Will I be able to do something like that again? Also, how long it would take to fix my teeth completely?
