i got my braces yesterday and i see that my bite doesn't seem right. My orthodonist did not give me any elastic bands plus i do not know why they put the cement on my molar teeth, they are very annoying and i cannot chew my food. Is this the correct placement for my case? Please explain what is currently wrong with my teeth thank you.

The teeth support your lips and play a big role in your profile. If you feel your upper lip sticks out, it may be your lower jaw and lip on the lower making it look this way. I would see see an orthodontist to discuss your concerns.

Unfortunately new retainers wont have the ability to move your teeth. Retainers only hold the teeth in position. However with clear aligner systems like the invisalign you can move the teeth relatively fast.All the best,

Straightening your teeth will have little effect on your nose. However, the development of your upper dental arch can have significant effects on your nose. I would recommend consulting a dentist who understands epigenetic orthodontics. Good luck!
