Tongue space gets smaller by closing extraction gaps?

Jhn07
Hello doctor, I have had 4 second premolars extracted. My orthodontist had put elastics on my lower teeth monday from the 1st premolars to the 1st molars to close the gap. I can’t rest my tongue properly it feels like the space is getting too small. Is this normal? What should i do? Thank you.
