Non-surg vrs surg: Best way is non--surgical. See an orthodontist, they specialize in resolving malocclusions. Compromise is surgical solution where teeth are cut down and reshaped as best as possible.

Orthodontics: A malocclusion (bad bite) can be treated via orthodontic tooth movement. You are best suited to make an appointment with an orthodontic specialist to determine the nature of your malocclusion and what would be needed to correct it.
