The spring is trying to move out so I don't think anything stuck in between will hurt. I had a spring and was lucky enough to not have it hurt my mouth. It was probably because mine was on the bottom though. Good luck!
I have 3 springs on my lower teeth. I put wax on two of them. When I had the braces put on the assistant gave me tons of extra wax and said that I would need it because I have so many springs. I took that to mean that it was fine to put wax on them. I put mine just along the bottom edge of the spring.
