I remember my sleep doctor mentioning them as an option, but with a risk of altering the jaw's shape.

It's not really a risk. I use a MAD. In the morning I have a little insert that realigns my overbite and do 5 minutes of muscle exercises. If i don't do that i notice alignment issues when I'm chewing. If i do, it's not an issue at all throughout the day. There are studies that have shown that overbite decreases over time but it's not clear if they do the reset procedure every morning.
