There's only one answer - buy more wax from the pharmacy! In time you will obtain used to the feeling - sorry I can't be more helpful.

I had braces as did my daughter and to be honest, until your mouth adjusts to the braces and develops calluses, the wax is your best friend. You might want to contact the orthodontist and ask for more. One thing you might try that could aid is something like OraJel (don't know if they have it in Australia but it's a jel we buy at the drugstore that you put on sores and toothaches in your mouth). That could help. Other than that...your mouth has to develop calluses and then it will stop developing ulcers. Braces are literally a pain, but the end result is great.

i just took the pain when i had braces. Your mouth will callous later so you wont feel it. Soon all you will feel is metal and no pain

Hey, i just got braces and was doing some research on why they scratch. If its minor, your better off with wax, but you can also go to your orthodontist to clip off the wire. The following is from wikipedia:



"When teeth move, the end of the arch wire may become displaced, causing it to poke the back of the patient's cheek. Dental wax can be applied to cushion the protruding wire. The orthodontist must be called instantly to have it clipped, or a painful mouth ulcer may form. If the wire is causing severe pain, it may be important to carefully bend the edge of the wire in with a spoon or other piece of equipment (i.e. tweezers) until the wire can be clipped by an orthodontist."



i hope this help, i know the pain your talking about.
