I have braces. the right side of my teeth touch when biting down but the other side doesn't really. what can help?

Work in progress: Sometimes teeth will touch, at other times they won't, during the course of your tooth movement. Perfectly normal The longer you are in treatment the better your occlusion will become. Bring your question up to your treating Dentist or specialist Orthodontist at your next regular appointment. They can give you a personalized time-table.
