The best solution-: see an orthodontist. You and your orthodontist can decide which orthodontic option are available and customize a treatment plan for you. Good luck.

Options: Need to have an evaluation by an orthodontist and possibly an oral surgeon. They should work together on this case

Probably: At 19, however, braces alone will not straighten crooked jaws. You may need a combination of Orthodontics and Oral Surgery. Ask your Dentist to recommend a Pro, the best qualified Orthodontic Specialist in your area. Go for an Initial Examination (usually free or modest cost) to learn what can be done and how to go about it. Malocclusions are like snowflakes, no two are alike. Go find out.
