Also, can I leave wax on my teeth overnight?

Yes, expect this and other changes to happen with your teeth. This is what you want! As you wear braces, you will notice how contact between other teeth is different than it had been and it will feel awkward to you. This is to be expected as you have been accustomed to your malocclusion and misalignment which is now being corrected.
Yes, to the wax.
Congrats too!

yes! thats what braces do! they move your teeth! its gonna be crazy for a while... your teeth are going to get better, then worse... then the next thing u know u got a huge gap.... its crazy... but dont worry, they arnt going to take them off till your teeth look great! yes u can leave wax on overnight, but it will probably just fall off and ull end up swallowing it. i dont really see the point though cause ull be sleeping and not talking or anything that would make the brakets rub and irratae your mouth. ull get used to it and eventually ull never use wax. i think i only used it the first week or so and then never touched it again! good luck! i loved having braces! <3

Yes it is very normal for your teeth to be shifting and moving. You can leave the wax on for as long as you need to. Don't be afraid to talk to your orthodontist about any questions you have. You are paying enough for those braces so don't worry about asking questions. They are use to it and don't mind

Yes, it is normal. It's amazing how fast teeth will move. Yes, you can leave wax on overnight. Sore places feel so much better if you leave wax on overnight. Hang in there - good luck!

that is what it is all about. My daughter gap in front closed up in 6 hours. So don't worry, the tooth shifting just means the braces are working.

Of course it is normal
Your teeth will be dancing all over your mouth until you get your braces off... I currently have braces...
Don't use any wax... you just dont need it.
