Just see a dentist in person. This is the stage of misaligned teeth called as ugly duckling stage, so donot go for any extraction, braces should be put at about 13 or 14 years.

Hello Lybrate user your daughter is at mixed dentition stage where she will have both milk tooth and permanent tooth it is common at this stage slight malalignment is normal at her age. If the milk tooth has not gone then I would advice you to visit your dentist and get it removed.

Hi, Please visit an orthodontist, he will suggest some removable appliances for the child if she requires them.

Hi, extraction of teeth is a big decision and should be taken only by the orthodontist after clinical and radiographic examination of teeth. Many patients make mistake of getting their permanent teeth removed if they are not coming in ideal position. Ideal age to get an orthodontic examination is 7-10 years of age as all developing problems can be prevented by use of removable and fixed extra and intraoral appliances.
