Knoxville Orthodontics - Dr. Kristin Knierim & Dr. Eric Hatten

Orthodontics isn’t just about braces anymore. Knoxville Orthodontics covers everything from traditional metal brackets to clear aligners and retainers, handling both kids and adults. Out toward West Knoxville, the practice sits in a quiet stretch of West Point Drive, where the traffic thins and the offices get a little more space to breathe. It’s one of those places where the focus stays squarely on alignment—literal and figurative—without the usual clinic fanfare.

This part of town doesn’t get as much foot traffic as downtown, but that’s part of its appeal. The area’s a mix of professional buildings and residential pockets, the kind of spot where you’re more likely to run into a neighbor than a tourist. Orthodontic work tends to be a long-term commitment, so having a practice tucked away from the busier corridors can make the whole process feel a little more low-key. No need to navigate crowded streets or hunt for parking when you’re just there for an adjustment or a quick scan.

Since the practice lists two doctors—Dr. Kristin Knierim and Dr. Eric Hatten—it’s set up to handle a steady flow of patients without the usual backlog. Whether it’s early-phase treatments for kids, teen braces, or adult aligners, the setup suggests they’re equipped for the full spectrum. And because orthodontics often involves multiple visits over months (or years), consistency matters more than flash. That’s why the location, off the main drag but still easy to reach, ends up being a practical choice for families juggling school, work, and everything in between.

For first visits or follow-ups, the number to call is (865) 522-7572. If you’re mapping it out, the directions will take you straight there—no guesswork needed. West Knoxville’s spread out enough that a precise address helps. Just plug it in and go.
