Answer
Praise be to Allah, and may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family and his companions.
As to what follows:
In response to your question, we say, and with Allah Almighty lies all success:
This type of alignment is allowed. There is no harm in it, as it is for the purpose of correcting a disfigurement and removing harm, and it is not included in the prohibition of changing the creation of Allah.
And Allah knows best.
