Anyone here ever done braces with MAHSA?

I'm doing there cause it's cheap, my friend who studies there said it's RM1000 for whole treatment. I've been there for four appointments already and each time I ask about the payment they don't seem to care too much. They've done scaling, made molds, taken x-ray and now I have to wear retainer for a month prior to braces all without paying anything.

Oh the dentist ask me to try the retainer cause I got keloid at my earlobes (suspected allergy to metal).. so wanna see if I'm gonna have reaction with metal in my mouth for long period of time. But my friend who have keloid also wore her braces for two years.. but better to be safe than sorry i guess. Anyone else got keloid and wore braces?

The orthodontist is professional. Only the technician are students.. and it's quite funny to see them being scolded by the orthodontist. In PPUM, it's RM500 but it's done by Master Students.

years from what i've heard.
