Is It Normal for Spaces to Be Created by Braces?

Linsey
I had braces placed on june 11. I was diagnosed with 4mm open bite, overbite, and midfacial hypoplasia. The doctors plan to have me wear braces for a year to get my bite prepped for surgery. The problem is i noticed my lower teeth are straight but a space has opened up between my teeth. I just want to know if that is normal or if my orthodontist is a quack???
