Hello. I just read through your question.
It is not too late to be evaluated by an orthodontist. In fact, the problem can still be repaired. It is still possible even if her age to have the teeth of lined perfectly. It typically takes about two to three years. However, it would be better to consult with an orthodontist about the time frame.
