Yes, no, maybe?: The proper answer to your question can only be determined after a personal clinical exam and x-rays. Take your daughter to your local dentist (preferably a pedodontist or orthodontist).

Internet Diagnosis: This decision is best left to her dentist who will discuss the pros and cons with you, the parent, regarding the extraction of the primary lateral incisors. It may make sense in certain situations, in others it may not.
