I had braces for 5 years, and remember the relentless canker sores. My dentist did give me the wax that miscortes said above, and that helped...except the wax falls off in your mouth and sometimes was startling (and definitely gross). however, it was a nice relief from the braces in the far back of my mouth that seemed to jab the most.
Here is another site with some helpful tips. there is some medication that you can use (the same used for tooth aches,, I assume it has a numbing or pain-relieving ingredient) that you can ask your dentist about: http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/articles/613.html
