More than alignment it may cause decayed teeth if mouth including teeth are not cleaned before your baby sleeps off.
Take wet sterile cotton and wipe off all surfaces of teeth. Do not let the baby sleep off without cleaning his or her teeth.
Prolonged bottle feeding rarely causes malalignment.

excessive feeding of a bottle can sometimes lead to malalignment of the upper front teeth, also excessive time of holding the bottle in the mouth can lead to decay of teeth especially if the u put sugar in the milk
Next Steps
make sure when u feed the baby he doesn't just hold the bottle for too long
