Dear practo user
Please check with anterior teeth position when she completely bite her teeth. If upper front tooth positioned behind lower front tooth, then it's definitely a issue which 2e should take care at this moment. This condition called cross bite. This can be corrected while teeth are settling down.
Can consult me on chat box for prevention measures and treatment plan.

This is normal. Do not worry. The milk teeth looks like it will fall off soon. For yellowness of teeth maintain oral hygiene, brush twice daily.
Wait till age 12-13.Till then most of her permanent teeth will be out and then you can consult an orthodontist for alignment of teeth.
