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!

Just be like me. Had oh idk, 6-8 years of orthodontic hell. Retainers. Head-gear. Braces in high school. Something called a MARA (look it up but warning NSFL). If it was metal and went into your mouth I had it at one point. Then at the end of it all they gave up with me and said fuck it and I had lower jaw surgery anyways to implant screws and push it forward a smidgen.
Looking back, honestly, I wish they had just done the surgery from the getgo. Recovery wasn’t very fun at all but in my particular case it would have saved years of just…. awful terrible shit.
For most cases though as others have said it’s probably more realistic to have a couple years of braces as opposed to minor surgery.
