may sound weird but a bit of pencil eraser might work.if not the best way to get the wax to stick is completely dry it off back there and use a big gob of the wax around both the back bracket and wire thats sticking out all in one, the bracket will help the wax stay put.hope this helps!

first of all congratulations on reaching the end of your journey! you must be so unbelievably excited(: to answer your question i would just wait the extra month and have it all done in one appointment. i get the excitement about finally being brace free and wanting to get them taking of asap, norma...
