I think my orthodontic treatment is moving my teeth incorrectly. What should I do?

Q.

Hi,
I am 26 years old and have been undergoing orthodontic treatment for 5 months now to correct my grade 3 underbite.
My concern is that my back teeth (where the brackets are) have gradually raised up since the treatment started. This is the case on both sides of my mouth and it is my lower jaw.
I have tried to discuss this with my orthodontist but he just dismissed my question.
Have I got a viable concern?
If so can it be avoided with different treatment management and what has caused this to happen?
Your response will be very much appreciated. Thanks
