Ever since about a month ago I have started always putting dental wax on the front top and bottom teeth just because of the feeling of the brackets there. Is it okay to continue to do this?

Yes, you will not face any kinds of problems regarding the wearing of the dental wax. Generally a variety of natural waxes and resins have been used on your teeth to make these dental waxes. It is recommended that if you keep brushing on a regular basis, you will not face any kinds of problems regarding the wear of the dental wax on your teeth.
While you are getting acclimated to new braces or repairing the protruding wire in your mouth, brace wax is necessary. Whatever the case, the waxing process stays the same.
Wash your hands frequently. You don't want any potentially dangerous bacteria to enter your mouth.
You should floss.
Squeeze a pea-sized amount of wax until it becomes pliable. It should be rolled into a ball and then slightly flattened.
Use your hands to gently massage the wax into the troublesome area. You can also modify the wax using your tongue if that is more convenient for you.
See your orthodontist if the wire continues to protrude and is bothering you even after application.
Although the wax can be changed every two days, you can wear them over night. With the wax on, you can conveniently eat and drink, but you should take it off if food gets stuck to it or if it gets soiled.
