Invisalign® in Glasgow
Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners made for your mouth alone. They are nearly invisible, comfortable to wear and come out to eat, brush and floss, so there are no brackets, wires or food restrictions. Before you commit to anything, you will see a 3D simulation of how your teeth could move and how your new smile could look.
St Vincent Smile has been an Invisalign Diamond Apex Provider every year from 2022 to 2026, placing us in the top 1% of Invisalign providers in Europe. Treatment is with Dr Umer Hameed, who holds a Diploma in Clear Aligner Therapy. Invisalign starts from £2,500, including Vivera retainers and whitening, and your consultation is free.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO INVISALIGN®
STEP 1
The Consultation
During the consultation your dentists will take photos, X-rays and digital scans, or a dental impression, of your teeth. These records will be used to create a ClinCheck 3D treatment plan, just for you.
STEP 2
The Aligners
You'll receive a series of custom-made aligners to wear every day and change
at home - on average every 1-2 weeks.
STEP 3
The Results
You'll visit your dentist around every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and receive new aligners. After finishing your treatment plan, retainers will be required to maintain your
new smile.
Is Invisalign® right for you?
Here are some of the straightening issues that can be treated with Invisalign
Overbite
Overbite
An overbite is when your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth. Most people have at least a little overbite.
Underbite
Underbite
An underbite is when you close your mouth and your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. In many cases, this is actually a problem with your lower jaw being too far forward.
Crossbite
Crossbite
When you close your mouth and some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth — rather than on the outside, like they normally would — your doctor calls this a crossbite.
Gap Teeth
Gap Teeth
When you have extra space between two or more of your teeth, your doctor calls this spacing issues or gap teeth.
Open Bite
Open Bite
When you have extra space between two or more of your teeth, your doctor calls this spacing issues or gap teeth.
Crowded Teeth
Crowded Teeth
When you don't have enough room in your jaw for your teeth to fit normally, your teeth can bunch up, overlap and twist, sometimes getting pushed to the front or the back.

Mikala’s Invisalign Experience
One of my teeth really stuck out and I was absolutely paranoid
about it. It was on my mind when speaking to somebody up close, when photographs were taken – I felt awful and wanted it fixed.
But I thought I was too grown up for metal braces.

Your guide to Invisalign in Glasgow
Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners instead of fixed metal braces. Each set of aligners moves your teeth a small, planned distance, and you change to the next set every week or two until your teeth reach their final position. The aligners are almost invisible, you take them out to eat and clean your teeth, and there are no brackets or wires to catch. At St Vincent Smile in Finnieston we have been treating Invisalign patients for many years.
Invisalign Diamond Apex: top 1% in Europe
St Vincent Smile has been an Invisalign Diamond Apex Provider every year from 2022 to 2026. Diamond Apex status is awarded by Invisalign to the most experienced providers, placing us in the top 1% of Invisalign providers in Europe. Experience matters with aligners: the result depends on how well the movements are planned, and a provider who has completed many cases knows how to plan them predictably.
Your iTero Lumina scan and smile simulation
Every Invisalign consultation at St Vincent Smile starts with a scan on our iTero Lumina intraoral scanner. A small wand captures a detailed 3D model of your teeth and bite in a few minutes, with no gooey putty impressions, no gagging and no waiting for moulds to set. The scan is more comfortable and far more accurate than traditional impressions, which means aligners that fit better and a more predictable result.
Within minutes of your scan we can show you the Invisalign Outcome Simulator: a preview of how your teeth could look after treatment, shown side by side with your teeth as they are today. It is the easiest way to decide whether Invisalign is right for you, and there is no charge and no obligation.
If you go ahead, the same scan is used to build your ClinCheck treatment plan, which maps every tooth movement stage by stage from start to finish. You see the planned result and the number of aligners you will need before your aligners are made, and we use the scanner again at review visits to check that your teeth are tracking exactly as planned.
The iTero Lumina scan is also used to plan composite bonding and smile makeovers, and to monitor tooth wear and gum health over time, so one quick scan gives us a complete digital record of your smile.
What Invisalign can treat
Crowded teeth that overlap or twist
Gaps between teeth
Teeth that have moved since you wore braces as a teenager
Overbite, underbite and crossbite, depending on severity
Straightening before composite bonding or veneers, so less tooth needs to be altered
At your consultation we will tell you honestly whether Invisalign is the right option for you, or whether another approach would give a better result.
Who will treat you
Invisalign treatment is provided by Dr Umer Hameed, whose work focuses on Invisalign, composite bonding, porcelain veneers and digital smile design. Because he also carries out cosmetic treatment, he can plan straightening and any finishing work, such as bonding or whitening, as one complete smile makeover.
How Invisalign treatment works
Free consultation and iTero scan, including your smile simulation.
Your ClinCheck plan: we design each tooth movement digitally and show you the planned result.
Your first aligners: small tooth-coloured attachments may be added to help the aligners grip, and we show you how to wear and clean them.
Wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set as directed.
Regular reviews to check your progress, often short appointments every few weeks.
Retainers at the end of treatment to keep your teeth in their new position.
How long does it take?
Simple cases can be finished in a few months, while more complex bites usually take around 12 to 18 months. Your ClinCheck plan shows the number of aligners you need, so you will know the expected length of treatment before you start.
Living with aligners
You remove your aligners to eat and drink anything other than water, then brush and put them back in. Most people notice slight pressure for a day or two with each new set, which is a sign the aligners are working. Some people speak with a slight lisp for the first few days; this usually settles quickly. Because the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss normally throughout treatment.
Keeping your result
Teeth naturally try to move back after straightening, so retainers are an essential part of treatment. We will recommend retainers to wear at night and review them at your check-ups so your new smile stays straight.
Cost and finance
Invisalign at St Vincent Smile starts from £2,500, including Vivera retainers and whitening, and monthly payments are available, subject to status. Your consultation, iTero scan and smile simulation are free, and you will receive a written, fixed price for your treatment before you commit.
Invisalign fees
The right option depends on how complex your case is. Your iTero Lumina scan and simulation tell us which.
Invisalign Express, for very minor crowding or spacing, often relapse after braces: £2,500
Invisalign Lite, for mild crowding or spacing: £3,500
Invisalign Moderate, for moderate crowding, spacing or bite issues: £4,000
Invisalign Comprehensive, for more complex movement: £4,500
Invisalign Comprehensive Plus, for the most complex cases: £5,000
Every package includes Vivera retainers, whitening, scans and X-rays, and a hygiene visit. Monthly payments are available, subject to status, and you will receive a written, fixed price before you commit.
Straighten first, then perfect
Aligning teeth first means less tooth needs to be added or removed later. Many patients follow Invisalign with whitening and composite bonding as part of a complete smile makeover, planned as one from the start.
Invisalign: frequently asked questions
Is Invisalign as effective as braces?
For most adult straightening cases, yes. Invisalign can treat crowding, gaps and many bite problems. Complex cases may need longer, and at your consultation we will tell you if fixed braces or another option would suit you better.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Most people feel mild pressure for a day or two when they start a new set of aligners. There are no wires or brackets to rub, so it is usually more comfortable than fixed braces.
Can I eat normally with Invisalign?
Yes. You take the aligners out to eat and drink, so there are no food restrictions. Brush before putting them back in.
What does Diamond Apex mean?
It is the Invisalign provider status given to the most experienced providers. St Vincent Smile has held Diamond Apex status every year from 2022 to 2026, placing us in the top 1% of providers in Europe.
