At this age, we normally called it as "Ugly duckling stage" because of different eruptive pathway of upper front teeth and the child appears 'ugly'.
In usual cases, when all the upper front teeth erupts, the alignment is proper and it does not look weird.
But still I would advise to consult first

There are few corrective ways to align teeth at this age without going for fixed orthodontic treatment later. You can consider visting a dentist or get a second opinion for exploring those methods or more importantly get a thorough evaluation for identifying the cause if there is any.
