It will also help if there is no competition for sunlight from other trees, buildings or shrubs

Just get a wooden stake and tie it up loosely and it will grow straight with no twists in the trunk,that’s all you really have to do.

Tomb Raider is right. I had a young tree that was growing at an angle, so I drove a six-foot stake into the ground, right next to the tree. Then I pulled the tree upright and tied it in two places to the stake, and it grew nice and straight. To tie it to the stake, I bought a couple of tree ties from a garden centre. These are a kind of plastic strap that you can adjust in length, and they are weather proof, so you can leave them in place for as long as it takes for the tree to grow straight. Best of luck.
