I used it for about two weeks. It was mainly used to stop the wire from poking my cheeks because it gets annoying real fast. Now I have no need for it anymore because it doesn't poke me anymore.

Sometimes the most random thing will suddenly start poking that was never an issue before...

Being 3 weeks into having braces, I only used wax for the first couple of days.

I used wax on nearly every bracket for the first few weeks, because they irritated the inside of my mouth so much and caused sores. Then I only had to use it on poky wires and some brackets as they move. I am now 8 months in and never use it, although I always keep a pack in my handbag just in case.
