Hi,

Usually problems like this can be either skeletal deformity that overall her jaw is big,if this is so then there can be jaw correcting surgeries but it can also be simply due to dental protrusion,then usually nothing is done till the time she gets 13.
Is there any crowding of teeth ?
This can also happen in some syndromes but it is rare.
You will have to get a dental consultation possibly by an orthodontist to get her checked up to find up the cause.
