Why isn’t there faster alternatives to braces?

Why can’t they just surgically uproot your teeth and glue them back in the correct places? I get that there are rubber band like ligaments, but why can’t they take them out and bend them the right way and put them back (or something)?

Edit: you can’t edit post titles for some reason, so: Why ~~isn’t~~ aren’t there faster alternatives to braces?
