for proper alignment of teeth, you need to visit an orthodontist and get it checked. get an x-ray done. orthodontic (braces) is the best and most conservative treatment. If not braces you can go for veneers or crowns.

If your mouth remains open during daytime and night that means positioning of upper teeth or both upper and lower teeth is outwards than natural position . Now there can be 2 reasons for it 1) the teeth are positioned out but the underlying bone is at correct position 2) underlying bone is positioned outwards as a result of which teeth are automatically out .
To treat either of the two problem you need to see an orthodontist , who can do a thorough check up and let you know the required treatment plan
In addition to that in some cases where tooth are slightly crooked they can be aligned to normal position using cosmetic procedures , this is for someone who does not wish to undergo orthodontic treatment . But technically speaking no cosmetic treatment can be better and long lasting than orthodontic movement and alignment of teeth given such a young age of the patient
Next Steps
Visit an orthodontist and get Radiographs ( Lat Ceph and OPG)
Health Tips
pls rule out any habit in which you might hold some object between upper and lower teeth

Sleeping with the mouth open can be damaging to teeth. This is because breathing through the mouth dries it out - removing the protective effect of saliva, which has a natural ability to kill the bacteria in the mouth that produce acid.
As acid levels rise through the night, tooth erosion and decay can begin.
People who sleep open-mouthed have higher rates of tooth decay.
Next Steps
Visit a Orthodontist to correct your crooked teeth.
Health Tips
Try Breathing normally with your nose through the day , which will train your body to breathe through nose during the night as well.
