Getting Wedding Ready With A Smile She Loves
Meet Eliza
Eliza is a Geelong local with a passion for running, fitness and fashion. As she prepared for her wedding, she wanted to feel like the very best version of herself when walking down the aisle. With months of wedding planning ahead and countless photos to come, Eliza decided it was the perfect time to straighten her smile with orthodontist-led clear aligner treatment at Urban Smile Waurn Ponds.
For Eliza, creating her dream wedding smile wasn’t about making a dramatic change. She wanted to correct the crowding that had developed over the years and feel completely confident on one of the biggest days of her life.
“I had noticed crowding in my bottom teeth and slight shifting on the top. I wanted to address it before it became something I felt self-conscious about.”
Choosing Urban Smile gave her confidence she was receiving specialist orthodontic care.
“Teeth aren’t something you want to take chances with. Urban Smile has some of the best orthodontists in Australia, and I felt confident knowing I was in expert hands.”

Eliza's Journey
Wedding planning is busy enough without adding orthodontic treatment into the mix, but Eliza quickly found clear aligners and weekly scans became part of her routine.
Using the Dental Monitoring app meant she could progress through treatment without constantly returning to the studio, leaving more time for wedding planning and training.
“It’s quick and easy to use, which means more time for running and wedding planning.”
Watching her smile improve with each new aligner became one of the most rewarding parts of the journey.
“I get a little dopamine boost every time I get the tick of approval to move up a stage.”

Pre-Wedding Whitening
As her wedding approached, Eliza chose to have in-chair teeth whitening 2 weeks before to brighten her smile for the big day. To make this possible, the Urban Smile team temporarily removed her clear aligner attachments before the whitening appointment, allowing her to enjoy both her wedding celebrations and photos before returning to continue the final refinement stage of her treatment journey.
Planning the whitening a couple of weeks before the wedding allowed the colour to fully settle while removing one more task from the final week of preparations.
“I wanted to feel really confident about my smile on the day, especially knowing I’d be smiling the entire time.”
“Seeing my smile without attachments and freshly whitened at the same time made it even more exciting.”
The result was a naturally brighter smile that complemented months of orthodontic treatment and gave Eliza complete confidence in every wedding photo.
Eliza's Wedding Smile
Looking back, Eliza says starting treatment well before the wedding was one of the best decisions she made.
“My teeth look so much straighter, and the health of my teeth has improved as well, especially since there’s less crowding.”
For anyone planning a wedding, her advice is simple:
“Start as soon as you’re even thinking about it. I have absolutely no regrets, it’s honestly the best thing I’ve done for myself.”
And if you’re worried you’re leaving it too late?
“Book a consultation. The team can let you know what options are still possible within your timeframe.”
Eliza’s journey shows that with the right planning, clear aligner treatment can fit seamlessly around your wedding timeline. Combined with professional in-chair teeth whitening before the big day, it’s possible to achieve a healthier, straighter and brighter smile—so you can walk down the aisle feeling confident in every photo.
