Hi,
My teeth moved very quickly when I 1st had my brace fitted, everybody is different your teeth may move more when your brace is next adjusted? If the wire is too long you could go back to your dentist and ask for it trimming down, you could also put a small piece of wax on the last bracket to stop it rubbing your mouth.
