Hello all! I know my jaw there is misalignment, my lower jaw is more to the right than my upper jaw. However, my right lips also goes to the right when I talk. is it also because of the jaw misalignment? Or this is not because of jaw misalignment? Anyone also experience this before?

Can this (lips goes to the right) also be fixed after jaw surgery or just braces?

Yes this is something a combination of BSSO and genioplasty can address, it's hard to tell if you need your upper jaw moved too form your photos but if it's already aligned than you might not need to.
