About Knoxville Orthodontics - Dr. Kristin Knierim and Dr. Eric Hatten

Jaw surgery bite correction and years-long treatment plans get steady follow-through from Dr. Kristin Knierim, with two office locations easing after-school scheduling.

This orthodontic practice offers two office locations, and reviews note that appointments can be booked at whichever is closest, with slots available after school hours. Cases described range from a severe overbite corrected in a young child to a jaw surgery bite correction and adult treatment that took roughly two years to finish. Scheduling comes up often as straightforward, and reviews mention rarely waiting once appointments start.

Trustworthy and they don’t treat you like you’re in an assembly line like some orthodontic places can these days.

My daughter has had a great experience with Knoxville Orthodontics so far! The entire team is friendly, professional, and always makes each visit easy and stress-free. A special thank you to Adriana, who is usually her assistant. She is always so kind, patient, and helpful. She takes the time to answer any questions, makes sure we have plenty of extra rubber bands before we leave. The front office always helps schedule appointments at the office locations that are closest to us, which I really appreciate.

Let's start with the fact that the doctors and staff are a wonderful group of people. They are very kind and take time for questions/concerns.I have always wanted a straighter smile. At age 52, I decided to take the plunge and just go for it. Two years later, I'm close to having my braces off and am loving my smile. I started with ceramic brackets and clear bands to be less noticeable, but now I ask for colored bands, because why not?? Might as well have a little fun. Looking forward to seeing my finished smile. Thank you, Knoxville Orthodontics!
