With this one, that bend is kind of harsh, not to sound mean, just my opinion. Is what I would do is this, in my picture I have darkenend what I feel needs to go, whether it is via a layer to keep the rest of the tree or not, I feel that part needs to go. Then I would till approx 20 degrees CCW and use that for a informal upright trunk.... Use the lower branches to continue trunk growth, and the second is now the new leader...
or you can keep it striaght and redirect...
