Wait up to the age of 12 years, incisors will alingn by themselves, later on fixed therapy if required can be done after 18 years of age. Uptil then no treatment is required.

Your daughter is now 9 years, so please wait till secondary growth is completed. Malalainment of teeth can be done anytime after that, you need not worry at all now.
