Hello. Get a thorough Dental examination done. Your Dentist will suggest you few X-ray images and evaluate clinically and suggest treatment options. Depending on the extent and whether the malalignment is due to dental factors or skeletal (bone factor), either an Orthodontic treatment (braces/aligners) or Orthognathic treatment (braces+ jaw surgery) might be required.
