We caught up with bride-to-be, Eliza, who’s combining wedding planning with clear aligner treatment at Urban Smile to get her Dream Smile ready to walk down the aisle. From her fitness-fueled lifestyle to her fashion-forward outlook, here’s how she’s getting wedding-ready with a little help from clear aligners.
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your upcoming wedding?
I’m absolutely obsessed with all things running and fitness! I also work in fashion, so I’m beyond excited to plan my March 2026 wedding and bring my vision to life. I want to feel like the best version of myself, so choosing to start clear aligner treatment with Urban Smile was an easy decision. There’s nothing better than feeling confident in your smile!
What inspired you to start clear aligner treatment?
Over time, I noticed some crowding in my bottom teeth and slight shifting on the top. I knew this was something that tends to happen more with age, and I wanted to address it before it became something I felt self-conscious about. Being in my 30s, traditional braces weren’t really appealing, I knew they’d impact my confidence. Clear aligners were the perfect solution!
What was the main thing you wanted to change or improve about your smile?
I really wanted to fix the crowding in my bottom teeth and the overlapping at the front. The team also let me know that the shape of my front teeth would become more rounded with treatment, giving my smile a softer, more refined look which I’m so happy about!
Why did you choose Urban Smile for your treatment?
I wanted a trusted provider, 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.
How have you found the process so far?
It took about a week to get used to, but after that, it became second nature. It’s honestly so easy. And I’ll admit, I get a cheeky little dopamine boost every time I get the tick of approval to move up a stage! The changes are already noticeable, and I’m not even halfway through yet. I’m really excited to see the full results in less than a year.
Do you plan to wear your aligners on your wedding day? Why or why not?
I plan to have my attachments removed for the big day. The Urban Smile team assured me it’s a simple process to remove these and I’ll be able to pick up the treatment again once I’m back from our mini-moon. That said, my aligners are barely noticeable, so if I had to wear them, it wouldn’t be a big deal. But since we’ve invested in a great photographer and put so much into the day, I want everything to feel perfect!
How has the Dental Monitoring app helped you manage your treatment around wedding planning?
It’s been such a time-saver! The app gives me confidence that I’m progressing well. I’ve been able to move up most weeks without any issues. It’s quick and easy to use, which means more time for running and wedding planning in my eyes!
What advice would you give to others thinking about starting clear aligner treatment before their wedding?
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. I get so excited every time I notice my teeth improving!
