Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
As per your query and evaluation of the OPG attached I can see that her permanent teeth are at the developmental stage and her deciduous teeth [milk teeth] have not yet fallen but gradually the roots of the milk teeth are resorbing and the teeth will fall out soon and the permanent teeth will erupt..
Although it is good that you are aware of her dental health and have got the screening done but as of now it would be too early to proceed for Orthodontic treatment and you should wait for atleast another 2 years till her permanent teeth will erupt..
Many a times as the permanent teeth starts erupting and also jaw growth continues the teeth comes in the proper alignment and no treatment is needed..
So my suggestion is to wait and watch..
Once the permanent teeth will erupt then you can consult an Orthodontist and get her evaluated and then if needed teeth can be aligned..
Any further queries are welcome..
Regards.

Thank you for your reply madam, I am extremly happy by seeing your suggestions. I hope it is better to make treatment only after permanent teeth comes. Can I drop the suggestion by local doctor to make clip for proper alignment of her teeth. Please reply.

Welcome back..
Yes, you can wait till her permanent teeth erupt and then better consult an Orthodontist and get treatment as needful.
If you still have any doubt you can consult an Orthodontist now and get your daughter evaluated but he/she will also advise you to get treatment done once permanent teeth erupts..
