Teeth crossing over during underbite correction -- how long does it last?

#1 Post by ediblebear »

I've recently switched over to braces from Invisalign because it's stopped being effective and my teeth stopped tracking, but now with braces my teeth are moving so effectively that they're completely edge to edge and only one set of my front teeth are in contact.

I can't bite down or chew on any food at all, and the two teeth that are touching and getting so loose from the pressure and impact. How long will it take for them to settle behind the front teeth? It'd driving me crazy to be not be able to eat or chew anything.
