The crowding is mainly due to third molar that is impacted on the right lower side. Please go for extraction before it damages the other tooth.
Then go for braces for treatment. After getting all your diagnostic images done, you can proceed with orthognathic surgery if needed .
Refer a orthodontist for further queries.
Hope this helps .
