Teeth overlapping?

Helllo, I have a little lionhead girlie and shes about 12 weeks old, I've just noticed her teeth look a little odd compared to my other rabbit, 6 months old netherland dwarf. One of the top incisors seems to be overlapping the other, not by much just slightly.
I've googled and googled! but cant seem to find anything that explains what might be happening and if its going to become a major problem or not.
Im taking my boy to have his plums removed on tuesday and im going to take her as well to see what they say but im very paranoid now and was just hoping some might have some idea what it might be and if its going to bother her :(
 
Hi, just a quick one, have to get my children from school. Look up Malocclusion or misaligned teeth in rabbits. On here they are usually called "Dental Buns"

The vet can treat it, with various different operations. My Feegal has it and he is three years old, and I love him!

Good luck and let us know how you get on.
