The treatment plan varies from patient to patient and the extent of corrections.
Orthodontic treatment is a very slow correcting process and the bite corrects only at the end of the treatment.
Inability to chew maybe very tight braces.... Report to your orthodontist and get it rectified.
Only your dentist will be able to make out whether the plan is working or not.
Next Steps
you calm down.... trust your dentist and go with flow
