New to the braces world

Hello All,
I just got my upper braces yesterday afternoon (lowers to follow in a couple months). I'm not having much pain yet. I do have a strange question though. In all the questions the ortho went over with me, I didn't ask how the best way to remove the wax once you put it on. My back molars were irritating my mouth so I put on some wax last night before bed. Getting it off this morning was.... interesting. Do any of you veterans have any suggestions for a newbie? Thanks a lot!!
