I got braced last Friday. For both my upper and lower, my ortho put brackets on my front two teeth, skipped the next teeth out, and then put brackets on my canines. The result of this is that my wires loop out from my front two teeth to my canines... and since the wires loop out, the wires are scraping the inside of my mouth and it really hurts! I can't use dental wax on just the wire.
Similar set up to me,although I just have the 1 tooth not bracketed,it is annoying but stick with it,I am sure you will get used to it,I am,lip baln and salt water rinses,you will be fine,good luck
