When my top braces went on in May I only needed wax for 1 week (ish), and then at adjustments. But my bottoms have been on since October and I need wax every single night (on half of my brackets) or I end up with a mouth full of wounds and blood in the morning. Anyone else have this? Everyone I've talked to said they only need it after adjustments? 
Wax is no longer available at drugstores or Walmart in my area. I go through more than 1 pack of wax a week so I get 3 from my ortho every 2 weeks. It's a hassle because I only go for adjustments every 8 weeks so I have to stop by much more frequently than necessary. Argh!
