Default String Theory and conservation of mass/energy

So if in string theory, there are compactified dimensions existing at
all points in space, is it possible to create a standing wave with a
null at the same point that these compactified dimensions intersect
with our 3 dimensions (well 4, right?). If these dimensions are at
the Plank scale, it would require huge amounts of energy/frequency for
the wavelengths to fit into these compacted dimensions. Would this
show up as a pseudo violation of conservation of mass/energy? Also, I
assume these extra dimensions are orthogonal basis sets so due to
conservation of momuntum so it would be tricky trying to shove
anything into these extra dimensions. Unless the dispersive nature of
wavefunctions applies to these compacted dimensions just as
wavefunctions are dispersive in our 3/4 dimensions. Oh wait, do
wavefunctions even exist in string theory? OK, replace wavefunctions
with strings up above and maybe that would make more sense?
