Hydration is the easy one to fix ... sleeping with your mouth open is another one ... sleeping in a hot room another one ... eating and/or drinking products you have allegies to, close to bedtime another ... alcohol is another ... and so on.

Good luck with the wax ... and good luck getting the 'sticking' cheeks sorted! :banana:
Been using wax since Day 3.... mostly on the 2 canines, the ones with 'wings' lol, and my 2 upper fronts, they bother my lower lip....I sure hope I can go w/o wax at some point - it's sort of a pain sometimes....
I know I don't drink enough, and have been trying to more since the braces, but it's hard for me, I already have the bladder of a pea!!!! ROFL.....Mine stick in the am too, and I am SURE it's cuz I sleep with my mouth open more w/braces than I did w/o.... almost at the 6 week mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :jump:
Uppers Braced 1/29/07; 2 Upper bicuspid extractions 9/14/07; Lowers braced 9/25/07

I have wings too! In my canines and premolars and molars, all the teeh going from the canines to my bands. Anyone knows why this happens?
I also wake up in the morning with the brackets impressions on my mouth :lol: It's funny. The first time I got a little scared, but then I got used to, and last night I used wax on my canines (those are the brackets that put more pressure on the inside of lips/cheeks), and it work beautifully!
But during the day... I don't like to use wax, I think it gets a bit unestethic..I also have no pain, so...it all works for me :lol:
