Meet Tahlia Fellows

Tahlia Fellows is a Medium Forward for Hawthorn’s AFLW team, Tahlia has quickly made a name for herself as a versatile forward, known for shaking things up on the field with her goal-scoring magic and her relentless pressure.

But there’s more to Tahlia than just footy! Off the field, she’s all about championing women’s sports and coaching future superstars. When she’s not busy inspiring the next generation, you’ll find her travelling wherever she can, soaking up new cultures, or hitting the trails on a hike with family and friends. Back at home, Tahlia loves nothing more than hanging out with her American Staffy, Zoe—whether they’re having a play session or enjoying a leisurely walk.

Tahlia’s treatment plan is an Advanced plan with her new smile designed by Dr Igor Lavrin. With crowding being the main challenge, Tahlia’s treatment has included IPR which is needed in selected treatments. IPR (Interproximal Reduction) is a precise fine-tooth polishing to gain space and reduce ‘black triangles’ between your front teeth. It’s this detail that really finishes off your new smile.

“The team have been so positive and transparent; I don’t feel like there is anything I need to worry about. They answer all my questions and have made the process really very easy. I am enjoying seeing the change in real time via the app too – it’s really motivating! Plus, the fact I can wear my aligners and still play sport is a bonus – my Urban Smile aligners fit under my mouthguard.”

Getting started can always be the hardest part! But what is stopping you when the consultation itself is free?

“I had been thinking about teeth straightening for some time, and then I made the leap and I was really glad I did! From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel comfortable and reassured. They answered every question I had, no matter how small, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. Your smile is so personal to you, I wanted it done properly and a Specialist Orthodontist is the way to go.”

Join Tahlia as she begins her clear aligner treatment journey at Urban Smile Hawthorn.  Once Tahlia’s personalised aligners had been made, the team fitted her attachments (these allow the aligners to grip your teeth for accurate tooth movement) and helped her take her first scan using the scan box and Dental Monitoring App so she’s ready to track her progress from anywhere.

During her treatment, Tahlia took a trip to Bali with her Scan Box Pro and her clear aligners. Thanks to the Dental Monitoring App, she easily sent scans of her teeth to our clinical team, ensuring her progress stayed on track, no matter where her travels took her.

With our Home Monitoring App, staying on top of your clear aligner treatment is simple, no matter where you are. As long as you have Wi-Fi you can take a scan! Allowing you to enjoy your adventures while still working towards your Dream Smile. This is the new way of orthodontic treatment!

Tahlia started her teeth straightening journey with Urban Smile to become more confident in public, without being self-conscious of her teeth.

After only 6 months you can see the progress Tahlia has made towards her Dream Smile which is pretty impressive! Clear aligners need to be worn 20-22 hours a day and just need to be taken out when eating or drinking something other than water.
