Yes, composite bonding can fix crooked teeth by applying a tooth-coloured resin that reshapes the tooth, but this is not for serious teeth misalignment. For serious teeth misalignment, procedures such as braces or aligners are required.
How crooked teeth are bonded with composite
Cosmetic correction: A dentist lays down and shapes tooth-coloured composite resin on the front of the tooth to cover up the look of crookedness or small overlaps.
Additive process: Material is placed on the tooth, thus not requiring any or much drilling and thus a conservative and non-invasive treatment.
Small problems: It is best applied to adjust little gaps, little overlaps, and other little cosmetic flaws but not huge orthodontic corrections.

When Composite Bonding is not the best solution
Severe crowding: If the teeth are severely crooked or crowded, bonding will make them appear bulkier and unnatural.
Severe malalignment cases: It is not a replacement for orthodontic correction of severe malalignment or bite problems.
Structural issues: Not indicated for teeth with extensive decay or periodontal pathology.
