Silver Birch Which In A Pot

Question

Hello, I have a Silver Birch tree which is in a pot. I have had it for 6 years, and up until now it has been fine. This year it has got leaves on it and it looks healthy, but there are some branches which are bare. Not sure if I have a problem or if I do what to do about it. Many thanks Jane
