Why can’t doctors just perform jaw surgery to move and align teeth quickly then let it heal, as opposed to people having to get braces or Invisalign?

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!

OP never had surgery before I guess haha.

Listen, every time you cut open the body, ESPECIALLY in a hospital, you run the risk of introducing countless diseases and bacteria into your body. No surgery is without some pretty serious complications.

Compare that too braces that generally tend to just be an inconvenience
