After Getting Braces, I Can't Seem to Bite Properly, Is This Normal?

August 17, 2012

I just got braces on the top set of teeth 3 days ago, and since then, I couldn't bite down properly. This is due to the edges of the top back teeth coming in contact with the center of my bottom back teeth. It feels as if the top back teeth are facing outward and the bottom back teeth are slightly facing forward. Is this normal for a 16 year old?
