Edit: Did not expect this to get so many responses. I’m currently several months into Invisalign so have been super fascinated by teeth stuff and was just curious if there was a surgical way to do it, even if it meant way more money, time, and risk. Thank you to everyone who answered!

teeth don’t move like that. Teeth are in a socket in the bone, and you need gradual orthodontic movement to align them, which can take months to years. You can’t do “surgery” to align the teeth because there’s no gradual movement, you would have to remodel the bone, and bone movement is extremely slow. Jaw surgery is only to fix how your bite down with your top and bottom jaw, not the individual teeth,
