On biting, my lower incisors hit inside back of upper incisors. I got my braces in lower set of teeth yesterday, I feel that my last molar tooth does not meet, and I am facing difficulty in chewing even the rice, as they just float around in my mouth. Is this common ? Or do I have to with little force for my molars to meet and eventually will it get normal , at least for food like boiled veg and soft chappati .

The best person to answer this question of yours would be your orthodontist. Some treatment protocols include adding material on the molar in order to raise your bite. Try eating soft food like curd rice or khichdi which does not require much of chewing.
Next Steps
Talk to your orthodontist and get an idea of his/her treatment plan
