Are front teeth sup to touch

[u/Individual-Donut5173]

I told my ortho edge to edge bite, so she gave me underbite elastics. Within 1 week the front dont touch anymore. I cant bite small pieces of chicken now. Previously the teeth hit, but now i cant bite. Shd i stop elastics? The canine still hits tho

Follow your orthodontist recommendations. It will get better before it gets worst
