Hello mam,
You can consult a dentist get x ray done.
And then decide to remove the milk teeth and try to orthodontic ally extrude the tooth and get the permanent central incisor in its position.
If extrusion is not possible then a bridge is placed connecting the neighbouring teeth.

It would be helpful if you could provide some pictures of your teeth and also an X-ray.
Without these things it’s difficult to give an accurate treatment plan. May be if space permits you can get your milk tooth removed and pull out the permanent tooth using braces. Or you can simply get a fixed bridge after removing milk tooth.
