At our clinic in Singen am Hohentwiel, we offer Invisalign First for children and Invisalign Teen for adolescents – an innovative and effective approach to early orthodontic treatment. Dr. Jaroch, a certified Invisalign provider, uses advanced digital 3D technology to create a customized treatment plan and supports young patients with expertise and empathy on their journey to a healthy, confident smile.
Invisalign’s clear aligners are not only discreet and aesthetically pleasing, but they also offer many practical benefits for children and teens: they are removable, comfortable, and associated with up to 80% fewer emergency visits compared to traditional metal braces* – a major advantage for active kids and busy families. School, sports, and social activities remain largely unaffected, and the removable trays make oral hygiene easier and more effective.
If you’re looking for modern, child-friendly orthodontic care in the Singen, Hegau region, or near the Swiss border – whether from Zurich, Winterthur, Schaffhausen, or the Canton of Thurgau – we’d be happy to advise you and your child in person. Let us guide you toward a healthy bite and a confident smile – step by step.

1. Aesthetics – Invisible, Not Obvious
The clear aligners are virtually invisible – perfect for children who feel self-conscious about wearing traditional metal braces. This can greatly boost their confidence, especially at school or during sports activities.
2. Comfort – No Wires or Brackets
No metal components mean no discomfort from brackets or wires. Invisalign aligners are smooth and gentle, significantly reducing pressure points and irritation inside the mouth.
3. Hygiene – Easy to Remove and Clean
Since the aligners can be taken out for eating and brushing, maintaining good oral hygiene is much easier. This helps prevent cavities and gum issues – particularly important for younger children still developing proper brushing habits.
4. Flexibility in Everyday Life
Whether it’s football, dancing, playing an instrument, or school photos – the aligners rarely get in the way. They can be removed briefly if needed and are hardly noticeable during everyday activities.
5. Fewer Dietary Restrictions
Children can enjoy their favorite foods without limitations, as the aligners are removed during meals – unlike with fixed braces, where certain foods must be avoided.
6. Predictable Results
With advanced 3D imaging technology, the entire treatment plan is precisely mapped out from the beginning – giving you a clear picture of what to expect at each stage.
7. Early Intervention – Invisalign First
Invisalign First is specially designed for children aged 6 to 10. It gently corrects developing bite issues early on – often preventing more complex treatments later. Learn more about Invisalign First
8. Fewer Emergencies – Less Stress for Parents
Studies show* that Invisalign is associated with up to 80% fewer emergency visits than traditional braces – no broken wires or loose brackets. This saves time and is especially convenient for families with busy schedules or who travel longer distances, such as from nearby regions in Switzerland.
For families from Singen and the surrounding Swiss border region, Invisalign is an excellent choice for gentle, modern orthodontic care. Swiss patients, in particular, appreciate the fewer required in-office visits compared to fixed braces – making it easier to integrate treatment into daily life.
High Planning Effort for Children
A child’s dental structure is constantly changing. Jaw growth, tooth eruption, and individual development make treatment planning with fixed appliances complex and often time-consuming.
Less Comfort, More Discomfort
Wires, brackets, and frequent adjustments can cause pain, pressure sores, and irritation in the mouth – making the treatment experience uncomfortable for many children.
Challenging for Families in Daily Life
Traditional braces require frequent check-ups, are difficult to clean, and increase the risk of cavities and gum inflammation – especially in younger patients who are still learning proper brushing techniques.
Social Insecurity
Metal braces are often seen by children and teens as awkward or embarrassing – especially at school, while speaking, or during social activities.
NO! And that’s one of the most important differences. Choosing the right aligner system is absolutely critical for a safe and effective orthodontic treatment.
A proper aligner is one that is prescribed and monitored by a dentist or orthodontist specialized in tooth and jaw correction. Unfortunately, the internet is flooded with a growing number of aligner providers. But here’s what many people don’t know: Most of them are not real orthodontic devices.
Many of these companies offer cosmetic aligners – not true braces. They may look similar, but they’re not designed to treat complex dental or jaw issues and are not supervised by trained professionals. In fact, several countries – including the USA and Austria – have taken legal action against such business models.
In 2023, the largest U.S. provider of cosmetic mail-order aligners, SmileDirectClub, was sued multiple times and ultimately filed for bankruptcy. The company had marketed itself similarly to Invisalign but operated independently – offering lower prices and no in-person consultations.
Many customers later realized they were not actually using Invisalign, as they had assumed. Unfortunately, this confusion is still not uncommon.
How Can I Tell the Difference?
True orthodontic aligners can only be offered by licensed dentists! But be cautious: some online providers legally rent space in dental offices, making it appear as though you are receiving legitimate braces. This practice is still legal in Germany, though Austria has already banned it. How is a patient supposed to know the difference?
In our Singen-based dental clinic, patients receive verified Invisalign treatments - not cosmetic shortcuts.
What Should Guide Your Decision?
Don’t decide based on price alone, and don’t be swayed by low monthly payments! Braces are expensive because the treatment is lengthy. The technology behind a true aligner involves numerous patents and state-of-the-art technology—none of which comes cheap. Check the qualifications of the dentist offering the treatment. As an Invisalign expert in Singen, Dr. Jaroch provides transparent advice and realistic treatment timelines for every patient.
How Long Do Genuine Aligner Treatments Take?
Many cosmetic aligner providers promise short treatment times of 10-16 weeks. This is medically unrealistic! Even minor misalignments typically cannot be corrected with true aligners in less than 30 weeks—and this is for mild cases. More complex cases can easily take up to two years.
Can Any Dentist Offer Invisalign?
No! Invisalign treatment may only be provided by qualified dental professionals who are clinically certified by Invisalign. Becoming an Invisalign provider involves a structured certification process that includes:
Participation in the official "Become an Invisalign Provider" training program
Access to clinical tools, ongoing support, and the latest advancements, including SmartTrack™ material, SmartForce™ attachments, and 3D treatment planning
Continuing education through Invisalign training sessions and DACH summits (Germany, Austria, Switzerland)
Because of these strict requirements, some dentists choose to offer in-house, self-made aligners instead. However, the difference in quality and treatment precision is often easy to spot – even without a dental background.
Technically – yes. Many dentists do it. It saves money, eliminates lab fees owed to Invisalign, and often increases profits. But here’s the catch:
What you save in cost, you sacrifice in precision. Invisalign holds multiple patents on tooth movement techniques and material technology that are simply not replicable with in-house or DIY aligner systems.
More and more online providers are promoting low-cost clear aligners delivered directly to your door – with no in-person dental visits. These so-called DIY aligners may seem convenient and affordable, but they carry serious health risks. What seems cheap today could become very expensive tomorrow.
Most DIY providers skip essential diagnostics such as x-rays or 3D scans. This means cavities, gum issues, or jaw misalignments can go undetected – leading to long-term damage.
Tooth movement must be carefully planned and monitored. Without a dental professional’s oversight, you risk damaging the roots, loosening teeth, or causing bite misalignments that are difficult to correct later.
If something goes wrong – pain, uncertainty, poor fit – you’re left with email support or a call center. There’s no clinical exam, no customized solution, and most adjustments come at an extra cost, if at all.
Unlike Invisalign’s patented SmartTrack™ material, many DIY aligners use standard plastics that are less precise, less durable, and often less comfortable to wear.
Once the treatment ends, your teeth need to be stabilized with a retainer to prevent shifting back. Many DIY systems don’t include long-term retention – or charge hidden fees for it.
Invisalign is more than a product – it’s a full orthodontic treatment guided by certified professionals:
Your treatment cost is based on the severity of the misalignment, treatment length, and whether the case is simple or complex.
Invisalign includes:
Digital 3D scans
Optional x-rays
Personal consultation
Ongoing monitoring by a certified Invisalign provider
Final retention phase (to maintain your result)
This is far more than just a piece of plastic.
Many practices offer flexible financing – even with 0% down. Invisalign can often be partially reimbursed through private insurance or paid via tax-advantaged accounts (like FSA/HSA in the U.S.).
According to studies and official Invisalign sources, overall treatment costs are typically comparable to conventional metal or ceramic braces.
