Wax isn't dangerous, or else you wouldn't put it into your mouth. Even if you swallowed it, nothing bad would happen, and you'd be too asleep to be grossed out. It's kinda nasty, though.
Try not to use too much of it... in theory, I guess huge wads could be choking hazards, but not really.
As for your lips, I would recommend using a cream/gel/Vaseline designed for mouth usage, because they relieve the pain and help the lip heal faster. Avoid coffee, and don't drink too much soda. Water/milk/non-acidic juices are better for you.
Brush your teeth very thoroughly, and floss daily. Wax isn't inherently dirty, but it's not something you want hanging around in your mouth, either.

it will be high-quality to leave it on in case you're slumbering. The worst element which could ensue is it falls off and also you swallow it. in case you swallow it, it gained't harm you. that's non poisonous and also you'll in simple terms bypass it later. next time you visit get your braces worked on ask them about the rubber bands. They coma in a lot of colorations or sparkling. they are those little rubber band thingys that go over the bracket and furnish some padding that's a lot more advantageous permeate than the wax. it is also a threat to devour with them on the position as you could't with the wax.

Oh the painful days with braces, every time they tighten it feels like your teeth are going to fall out and forget about biting on anything!! Ouch! Yes, you can sleep with the wax on! Make sure to brush your teeth in the morning and then reapply wax!

This question should only be asked of the doctor that is treating you because every case is different.
