Well honestly the wax they give you probobly is not very good. The wax I got from my dentist did not stick either. Go to CVS or a drugstore and get wax there in the dental section. I like GUM brand. And to put it on, roll a little piece up in a ball and stick it on your area that is causing the ulcer. But eventually the lower lip area will toughen up and it won't hurt. If the wax still does not stick, try blotting the braces dry first so wax will not slide off. Also you could try melting the wax in hot water, it makes it soft and it sticks much better.
have braces for 2 years and counting
Use the wax! Just put the wax on the braces the area that is rubbing so when it rubs it will be the wax rubbing. It don't fall off just smooch the wax between your fingers twirl your fingers then place the wax on.after some time your braces wont rub as much
The wax is rubbish it never stays on for me! So i bought gauze, it works so much better. Just cut a little bit off, fold it over and place it on your brace where its rubbing :)
