Can anyone who has or has had braces give me tips to keep my braces from catching on my lip. Usually happens when I'm eating and it really stings because it left a small cut.

Ouch! I know the feeling. My wire used to get stuck in the back of my cheek, and I've got small scars back there! A few where yours are doing it also.

For now, if you have got some wax that they gave you, use that where it keeps catching you. And the next time you go back to the orthodontist let them know, they can probably move whatever is catching on your lip.
