Can the bottom jaw be moved to the left/right? Could someone explain this procedure in layman's terms? Thank you so much!(Photo)

So I'm getting jaw surgery in two months, and I figured that I should fix my midline in addition to moving my bottom jaw forward. I see posts on forums that claim that their bottom jaw got shifted to the left/right a few mm to correct their midlines, but I can't find any more info. I know rubber bands work, but I really don't want to move my teeth since my orthodontist thinks my teeth are in a good position and shifting them could weaken them. So can your entire jaw just be shifted to the right?
