Biggest thing is make sure ur wax is well luted... makes it easier to carve so big chunks dont break off. After that its just carving it down till its close to something that resembles a tooth, then go slow and fine tune it. I duno how your waxing works, but if you can put it in an arch, make sure it lines up with everything from all differnt views.
If all else fails, take an impression of an incisor and melt some wax into the impression... haha jk, dont do that 😉

Once I have a good bulk of wax, I heat up my #7 spatula and use the back to melt down and smooth out the entire surface. That way, when u carve it'll come out smooth.
