Transform Your Smile With Clear Aligners
At Success Orthodontics, we believe your smile journey should fit your life, not the other way around. That’s why we’re proud to offer clear aligner orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign® and Angel Aligners. Clear aligners are a modern and nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth without the look or feel of traditional braces. Using advanced digital technology and a series of custom-fit aligner trays, this orthodontic treatment gently moves your teeth into place comfortably and discreetly.
Whether you’re a working professional, a busy adult, or a teen looking for a confident, camera-ready smile, clear aligners make orthodontic care easier and more convenient than ever. Under the guidance and care of Dr. Felix Gen, an experienced clear aligner provider for 25 years, you’ll receive personalized treatment backed by decades of experience and the latest innovations in smile design.
We are proud to serve patients across Northeast Ohio at our Mayfield Heights, Twinsburg, and Lakewood offices. Our team is here to help you achieve a beautiful, healthy smile with the comfort and confidence you deserve.
Understanding Clear Aligners: How Do They Work?
Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment to gently straighten your teeth without the need for brackets or wires. Using advanced digital scans, Dr. Gen designs a series of custom, removable trays that fit comfortably over your teeth. Each set of aligners applies light, consistent pressure to gradually guide your teeth into their ideal positions.
Because they’re virtually invisible and easy to remove for eating or brushing, clear aligners make it simple to achieve a confident, healthy smile while maintaining your everyday routine.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Clear Aligners?
A great candidate for clear aligner orthodontic treatment is someone looking for a discreet, flexible way to straighten their smile. Clear aligners work well for teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment concerns such as crowding, spacing, or certain bite issues. They’re especially ideal for patients who prefer a removable option that fits comfortably into busy school, work, or family routines. At Success Orthodontics, Dr. Gen personalizes every plan to help determine whether clear aligners are the right fit for your goals and lifestyle.
Types of Clear Aligner Treatments We Provide
No matter your age, you deserve to feel great about your smile, which is why we’re proud to offer Invisalign clear aligners for kids, teens, and adults. From early guidance with Invisalign First™ to flexible solutions for busy teens and adults, we tailor every treatment plan with precision and care, helping patients achieve beautifully aligned smiles at any stage of life.
Invisalign for Adults
Invisalign clear aligners offer adults a discreet, convenient way to achieve the smile they’ve always wanted, without interrupting their busy lives. Comfortable and nearly invisible, these custom trays fit seamlessly into professional and social routines, helping you straighten your teeth confidently and comfortably at any stage of adulthood.
Invisalign for Teens
Invisalign Teen makes it easy for teens to smile with confidence, both during and after treatment. Designed for active lifestyles, these clear, removable trays straighten teeth comfortably and discreetly while allowing freedom to eat, brush, and live life without the look or limitations of traditional braces.
Invisalign First
Invisalign First aligners are specially designed for growing smiles. This early orthodontic treatment helps guide proper tooth and jaw development, gently and comfortably. With clear, removable trays, kids can enjoy easier brushing, no food restrictions, and a positive first experience on their journey toward a confident, healthy smile.
Angel Aligners
Angel Aligners are clear, removable aligners that gently straighten teeth while fitting seamlessly into everyday life. They’re designed for comfort and discretion, making them easy to wear at work, school, or social events. Compared to Invisalign, Angel Aligners offer additional customization options that allow Dr. Gen to personalize your treatment for your smile and lifestyle.
Considering an Alternative? Explore Braces Treatment Options
While clear aligners are a popular choice, braces remain one of the most reliable and effective ways to achieve a beautifully aligned smile. At Success Orthodontics, we offer advanced braces options designed for comfort, precision, and exceptional results.
Our practice proudly uses the Pitts 21™ self-ligating braces system, which allows for faster tooth movement, fewer adjustments, and a more comfortable experience. For patients seeking a discreet option, we also provide clear ceramic self-ligating braces, combining the strength of modern technology with a more subtle, natural look.

What To Expect During Your Clear Aligners Treatment
We want your clear aligners journey to be as smooth as possible. Here’s a general breakdown of what you can expect from start to finish:

Your clear aligners experience begins with a welcoming visit where Dr. Gen gets to know your smile goals. We take comfortable digital scans to capture precise images of your teeth and design a custom treatment plan just for you.

Once you receive your aligners, you’ll wear them for 20–22 hours per day, switching to a new set every 1–2 weeks. Because the trays are removable, you can continue enjoying your favorite foods and maintain your brushing and flossing routine with ease.

Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit Success Orthodontics for quick check-ins so Dr. Gen can monitor your progress and ensure everything is moving safely and comfortably. These appointments are typically brief and fit easily into your schedule.
