Jaw Surgery requires a multi-disciplinary team approach to solve this complex problem. The most critical team players are the Orthodontists and the Oral Surgeons.
The costs of braces for jaw surgery are multifactorial:
In general, Invisalign costs more than fixed braces for jaw surgery due to the Invisalign design efforts by our Orthodontic Team and Invisalign Lab fabrication costs.
In general, Medisave or Insurance does not cover braces or Invisalign for jaw surgery. The use of Medisave to cover the cost of braces for jaw surgery is NOT ALLOWED. Medisave usage rules are set by the Ministry of Health, Singapore.
Having said that, private insurance coverage boils down to the unique terms of your insurance policy. Please speak with your insurance agent to understand if your insurance policy covers the braces cost for jaw surgery.

You will be happy to know that the costs of jaw surgery can be partially covered by Medisave and your insurance policies. Your Oral Surgeon will be able to guide you through this process.
Singaporeans and PR’s who have sufficient Medisave funds will be able to utilize Medisave to cover a portion of the jaw surgery fees in addition to private insurance coverage.
The amount of Medisave funds that can be utilized to cover the cost of jaw surgery depends on the surgical table codes set by the Ministry of Health, Singapore. Medisave will NOT be able to cover 100% of the jaw surgery cost in Singapore.
Private hospitalization insurances sometimes cover jaw surgery costs as well. This greatly depends on the details of your insurance policy. Therefore, speak to your insurance agent for clarification. Overseas jaw surgery patients must also check if their insurance policies will cover surgical fees that occur in Singapore.
