She is eating and drinking fine but the bottom beak is angled outward slightly. Is there anything I can do for her? Will it get worse over time?

Scissor beak or cross beak does sometimes get worse as they grow. Having deeper open dishes can help them eat and drink. Sometimes trimming may be needed if it interferes with normal beak honing on rocks or blocks, they can get quite overgrown. As long as they can eat and drink adequately, many of them do well.
