Consult with Dr.: Not all malocclusions need treatment, but many will benefit from it. There is little one can do at home to effect a more positive outcome. Quit bad habits: thumb or finger sucking etc, access continuing and preventive dental care. If your dds feels orthodontics would be of help, investigate with a specialist, it really is a wonderful specialty. Good luck!
