Your daughter is in a stage which is called as ugly duckling stage. As the other teeth in upper arch start erupting due to their pressure the front teeth will correct and come closer and inwards. So we can say that it is a self correcting anomaly. Having said that she might require braces treatment later in life or an interceptive treatment rite now. That can be asessed only after a consultation with an orthodontist/Pedodontist.

The condition you are talking about will correct by itself after sometime. But if still some mal-alignment of teeth is there after few years, that can be corrected by braces when she's 13-14 years old.

Please wait for 12 years. Most of the crooked teeth correct themselves by this age, If not then you may consult a dentist.

Generally between the time the central incisor teeth erupt and the canines finally erupt, it is quite normal for the incisors to appear somewhat crooked due to the eruptive pressures on their roots from the eruptng neighbouring teeth. We call it the "Ugly Duckling Stage" in dental development. However, just to be absolutely certain, you can get an opinion from an orthodontist, so that, if any intervention is necessary, it maybe initiated early.

Clip treatment is not mandatory now. if this problem persist after 12 years of age then do space and inclination between the teeth is because different size of teeth mixture of milk and permanent teeth this space will help the other permanent teeth to erupt and It will occupy the space So need to worry

It will close slowly, this period from 7 to 9 years is called as ugly duckling stage. Clip treatment or orthodontics can be started after all the teeth are erupted approximately by 12 years.

Don't go for the treatment now. It might get corrected by itself once the adjacent teeth are erupted.
