Dr. Hamza is one of only a handful of Invisalign Diamond providers in Islamabad-Rawalpindi — awarded in early 2025 after cumulatively treating 400+ clear-aligner cases. He joined SmilePlus in late 2021 from a private practice in Bahria Town and now runs our orthodontics caseload four days a week plus Saturday mornings.
He's direct about what's realistic with aligners and what needs fixed appliances. About 20% of the adult cases he sees end up in braces, not Invisalign, because the movements required (rotations over 40°, extrusion, significant bite correction) aren't well-served by aligners. He will tell you which camp you're in at the first consultation, which often surprises patients who came in specifically asking for Invisalign.
His longest-running commitment at the clinic is the 14-months-and-counting "Fridays-are-retainer-check-day" — existing patients can drop in on Friday mornings without an appointment for a 5-minute retainer adjustment.
