Services
Braces
Braces correct misaligned teeth and jaw irregularities using brackets, wires, and elastics. At Knoxville Orthodontics, we offer metal, ceramic, and gold braces tailored to individual needs. These appliances apply gentle pressure to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment, improving oral health, bite functionality, and aesthetics. Our orthodontists customize treatment plans for pre-teens, teens, and adults, ensuring effective results for complex cases.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are removable trays that straighten teeth discreetly. Custom-designed using 3D imaging, they address overcrowding, gaps, and bite issues without metal brackets. Patients wear each set for two weeks, progressing through stages until achieving their ideal smile. This option suits those seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces while maintaining flexibility for eating and oral hygiene.
Teeth Bleaching
Teeth bleaching lightens discoloration and stains using professional-grade hydrogen peroxide gel activated by LED light. In-office Philips Zoom Whitening delivers immediate results, while at-home kits with custom trays offer gradual improvement. This non-invasive treatment enhances smiles safely, boosting confidence with minimal sensitivity and long-lasting effects when maintained properly.
Brava By Brius
Brava By Brius is a lingual orthodontic system with brackets placed behind teeth for invisibility. Using AI-programmed NiTi arms, it moves teeth independently for faster treatment. Ideal for patients prioritizing aesthetics, this method reduces adjustment appointments and allows easier cleaning compared to traditional braces while achieving precise alignment outcomes.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are bonded to the back of teeth, offering a discreet alternative to traditional braces. Custom-fitted to each patient's dental structure, they correct misalignment and bite issues effectively. This option is ideal for professionals and image-conscious individuals seeking orthodontic treatment without visible hardware, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal.
