I got my all four of my first molars banded today, but only had brackets bonded to my top arch. Now, my teeth don't close all the way because the tubes on the bands touch before my molars touch. Is this normal?
Yeah, the lower arch is not quite as wide. I never noticed it until today. Perhaps once my lower arch is wired up, things will eventually shift into a position that will allow me to chew like a normal person again. I hope, anyway. Other than this small inconvenience, I'm doing quite well.
