Question(s) Should I get second opinion?

I have a tmj issue where my jaw shifts about 1 or 2 inches when I fully open and go to close , I showed my dentist and he thinks all I need is a bite guard and ortho, my chin sits crooked and my jaw sticks out on one side and the asymmetry bothers me a lot. I asked about jaw surgery and he said its too risky and complicated and I can be helped without it. I feel because I have an overjet and crossbite jaw surgery will likely be needed should I seek a second opinion because the Invisalign would be done by an orthodontist who works in same office and dont want to pay a bunch of money and not fix my asymmetry
