I don't like that my face looks wider after braces, can i push my bottom jaw in again?

Assuming that you were treated by a qualified Orthodontic specialist, I'm sure that your occlusion and your jaw relationships now more closely resemble normal relationships than they did before treatment. Discuss your concerns with your Orthodontist. Your problem may be camouflaged with additional treatment, and/or jaw surgery. You may also want to consider a second opinion.
