About Smile Doctors Orthodontics - Knoxville Dutchtown
Same-day consult-to-braces appointments and remote Invisalign scan check-ins mark this Smile Doctors office, with Dr. Edgmon frequently named for thorough, patient explanations.
Reviews at this Knoxville orthodontic practice often mention quick turnaround, including consults that move straight into braces placement the same day and retainers replaced without delay. Families also point to multiple accessible locations and flexible scheduling around work, along with a steady mention of Invisalign treatment, including weekly at-home scans reviewed remotely by the office. Dr. Edgmon is named repeatedly for taking time to answer questions and for going beyond office hours to help a patient.

Smile Doctors are the ultimate professionals. My son was always well taken care of and left with a beautiful smile. I’m thankful for all they have done for my family. This is the place to go!

I started with Invisalign in August 2022 and I saw great results except for one problem tooth that would not turn. So we started braces in July 2025. I love that the doctors at the office will make sure that you are happy with your teeth before you finish treatment! I love the doctor so much my seven and nine-year-old are also getting their expanders and braces!
