At this age it is normal for the front milk tooth to start loosening and the permanent tooth erupts in the lingual (backside ) of front tooth.
But when the milk tooth falls, the permanent tooth gets it normal position by tongue pressure.

Every milk tooth has a different time of shading and if the time table is missed then it causes malaligned teeth and require wiring treatment for correction.
