How badly kinked is it? Do you have a photo? Many snakes do just fine with kinks. On occasion a hatchling will start with a kink and then grow it out. Pics and some info on the snake will help greatly...

its difficult to answer your question without seeing exactly were the kink is. Generally, if the kink is bellow the cloaca, your snake will have little to no problems and should be expected to live a long healthy life. However, if the kink is above the cloaca, you might expect some problems and a trip to the vet would be necessary.
good luck
