Yes, this can be a sign of wolf teeth or it can be a bit problem.
Wonder bits were designed to be used by barrel racers to raise the
inside shoulder in order to make a closer turn around a barrel. They are
a "gag" type of bit that raises deeper in the mouth when the reins are
pulled. These bits are quite severe!

This is probably the problem. In cases of severe over-bite the gap between the front incisors and the back molars is not aligned and the bit can hit on both the upper and lower teeth. I would have a knowledgeable equine vet or equine dentist evaluate his mouth.

I imagine he is hurting more than he is hard mouthed. The vet or dentist
could probably give you a recommendation. In the meantime I would try a
mechanical hackamore.
Good luck and keep me informed.
