i have to pull out 8 teeth for my braces :’) 4 wisdom teeth 4 pre molars and the braces itself are $8k :’) i’m tryna save money as much as possible since i’m 21 but also paying my uni sch fees and my parents don’t wanna pay for anyth so… anyone know how to save money on the extractions? i have a lot of CPF but idk what it covers medically

i’m also not a guy so no NS coverage for wisdom teeth but i was really thinking if that would be worth it to volunteer for a few years at this point

the orthodontist also told me that these are counted as medical/surgical stuff and not just for aesthetics cuz my jaw is simply not big enough to fit all my teeth :’)

my mom also said that medisave only covers if i’m hospitalised and i guess i could try to get into a hospital since i wanna pull all 8 out at once to save money on anaesthesia but hospitals are expensive too
