I highly doubt that a conventional consumer-grade printer using a wax filament will produce a part with the fineness required for dentistry. While there are wax-based 3D printers, notably the Solidscape machines, these are in a whole different league as far as precision and price are concerned.

If you're looking for a more affordable option, consider one of the resin-based machines intended for jewelers, like the B9 Creator. The resin takes special treatment in burnout, but it's functionally equivalent to wax.
