Your orthodontist will advise you as to this depending on your bite and bone configuration of adjacent teeth.

Until your specialist Orthodontist or treating General Dentist has determined that the roots of your teeth are properly aligned within your jaws and the teeth are occluding and functioning g properly. Bringing your teeth into contact is one of the earlier stages of treatment.
