I'm concerned: At 58 you're many years beyond the ability for your jaw bones to grow. I would suggest discussing your proposed treatment plan with a jaw growth expert, an Orthodontist

Yes: Ask yourself based upon your entire past dental history if this makes sense to you and if you trust the dentist who is advising this course of treatment. Is he/she highly recommended and is someone who has extensive experience and training treating patients with TMD/TMJ dysfunction? If yes may be a reasonable approach. If not why net get a second opinion before making your decision.
