We help you straighten your teeth and correct your bite discreetly with custom clear aligners. Dr. Hammoud is a certified Invisalign provider, so your entire treatment happens right here in Dearborn.
Crowding, spacing, and rotated teeth often feel like cosmetic concerns, but moving even a single tooth changes the way your upper and lower arches meet. Before we begin any tooth movement, we evaluate your gums and existing dental work to ensure you have a healthy foundation. We use clear aligners and targeted orthodontic treatment to help you address:
Custom, removable trays like Invisalign that gradually move your teeth into their proper positions discreetly.
Targeted plans designed to correct specific, minor tooth movements without requiring full-mouth braces.
Custom clear trays or traditional wire appliances to hold your teeth securely in place after your active treatment is finished.
1. Examination and Digital Scanning We evaluate your teeth and take highly accurate digital scans with our intraoral scanner. You will not have to deal with uncomfortable, messy impression putty.
2. Digital Treatment Planning We use your scans to map out the exact sequence of your tooth movement. We show you a digital preview of the proposed plan and explain your timeline.
3. Active Aligner Wear You wear your custom trays for 20 to 22 hours a day, simply removing them to eat, brush, and floss to keep your treatment on track.
4. Long-Term Retention Teeth naturally want to drift back to their old positions. Once active treatment is complete, we provide custom retainers to lock in your corrected smile.
When Dr. Mohammad Hammoud plans an orthodontic case, he uses fully digital workflows, intraoral scanners, and 3D printing. For clear aligners, this technology means tighter tolerances on tooth movement and a more comfortable experience for you. Our goal is to give you a straight smile that also works properly when you bite down. If your bite requires complex, comprehensive orthodontics outside our clinical scope, we will tell you straight and coordinate a trusted referral to a specialist.

No. While clear aligners are transparent and much less noticeable than metal brackets, we will not tell you they are completely invisible. Small tooth-colored attachments and the edges of the trays can still be seen up close.
We use the digital simulation as a highly accurate planning tool, but it is not a guarantee of your final result. Your actual tooth movement depends on your unique biological response and how consistently you wear your trays.
You need to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours every day. If you leave them out for extended periods, your teeth will not move as planned, and your next set of trays will not fit correctly.
You must take them out to eat. Drinking water is fine, but you need to remove them for coffee, tea, soda, or any other beverage. Sugary or acidic drinks will get trapped against your enamel and easily stain the clear plastic.
The cost depends entirely on how much movement your specific case requires. We quote your exact price after taking your diagnostic records rather than guessing over the phone. We also offer flexible financing through Cherry and HFD to make treatment manageable.
If you are concerned about crowding, spacing, or previous orthodontic relapse, contact our Dearborn team to schedule your clear aligner consultation.
