Will this apple eventually snap if not straightened?

5 years ago

I bought this apple from Starkbros a few years back. As you can see its grafted. I believe it's a dwarf or semi-dwarf. It seems like its growing to one side while my other apple us not growing in this manner. You would think it would balance itself out, which is weird, but if care is needed, I'm thinking to drive a stake on one side and put some tension on it to straighten it up. What materials should I use if so, wire, stake, and cut hose around stem? Any other ideas or should that do it?
