What if only one tooth is crooked?
If you want your crooked tooth to be properly aligned, braces or Invisalign would be needed to correct. If it is very minimal, your orthodontist may try to align it with an active retainer, but this is done when very small movements are needed. I would recommend seeing an orthodontist for an evaluation and they'll be able to give you better answers for your specific situation.
