Whether you’re a teen with a crooked smile or an adult who never got the chance to straighten your teeth, Kennedy Dentistry offers you great choices when it comes to orthodontics in North Knoxville. With our experience using both ClearCorrect® and Invisalign®, we can help you:
If you’re ready to see your new smile in months rather than years, call the team at Kennedy Dentistry today at 865-685-4886 for a consultation. Our address is 2529 W. Emory Road, just a couple of miles off I-75 in Powell.
Invisalign® revolutionized the orthodontics industry when it introduced clear teeth aligners over two decades ago. Although this teeth-straightening method hasn’t been around as long as traditional braces, it offers orthodontic patients a great alternative to clunky metal braces. Instead of metal brackets, bands, and wires, all patients have to do is slip comfortable, clear aligners over their teeth.
ClearCorrect® is another orthodontic alternative to metal braces. It works like Invisalign® – the aligners are comfortable and easy to use, and they are so transparent that they are barely noticeable by others. Your orthodontic treatment doesn’t have to be on display for the whole world to see.
With either system, the aligners are easy to remove for:
Just be sure to wear them at all times otherwise. ClearCorrect® recommends at least 22 hours per day, while Invisalign® tells users to wear them at minimum 20-22 hours.
When you come in for your initial consultation, we’ll help you decide which orthodontic option is right for you. Both methods are fast, and you could complete your treatment in as few as 12 months, not two years or longer like traditional braces usually take.

Wonderful dentist and great office! Picked them because they are close to home, but the whole family has changed to this office because they are so amazing! Dr. Z and Dr. Kennedy are both amazing dentists who really care about their patients. Dr. Z worked hard to ease my worries (previous dental fears…. gone now thanks to her!) and now my whole family enjoys a trip to the dentist!
The staff was super friendly! Office was clean. The doctor took the time to go through everything with me. My sister referred me, and we both got a $25 referral credit! I highly recommend.
Great experience again from the new hygienist which I’m terrible with names the first time I meet someone but I remember faces and this hygienist from NewOrleans was top notch as have all the hygienist at Kennedy. Dr Z was and as always a great dentist. Usually you dread being at the dentist office but the staff always makes you feel like family.
Hands down the best dentist’s office in town. I recently moved, but still make the 45 minute drive, as I can’t imagine going anywhere else.
Such a wonderful staff. The way they work with children is top notch. My son had to have a filling and putting a smiley face on his nail using the sealant is awesome.
Hands down the best dentist office I’ve ever visited. The staff are competent and friendly and both Dr Kennedy and Dr Stansbury do excellent work.
I had my first visit a few days ago. Very good experience! Lindsey and Dr Z were very friendly and took time to answer any questions I had. They took time to explain a future procedure I’m going to be having, and I never felt rushed or like I was being hurried through my visit there. Fun atmosphere!
I’ve been coming here for a long time, and I’ve been a patient of Dr. Kennedy, and now I’m a patient of Dr. Stansbury. Both are very professional and knowledgeable dentists, always taking the time to explain and help me understand all options. The entire staff is very friendly and efficient, and there is just an atmosphere of caring there that makes your trip to the dentist a pleasant experience. They all make a great team!
It’s possible that orthodontic treatment will result in slight changes to the appearance of your face. Once your bite is adjusted, it can affect the appearance of your jaw, especially in younger patients. Realigning teeth can also sometimes change how your lips look, making them appear slightly more or less full.
Your dental insurance and/or health insurance may cover some of the cost of orthodontics. If treatment is undertaken strictly for cosmetic reasons (making your teeth look better vs. correcting a misaligned bite), it likely won’t be covered. For orthodontics to be covered, you will need to have insurance before treatment begins. With most policies, a lifetime maximum will be in place. You can also use third-party financing from CareCredit to pay for orthodontics.
The cost varies widely, depending on factors including the severity of the problems being addressed, the type of treatment you choose, and the length of treatment. Our dentists will help you determine the most appropriate treatment for your smile. If your treatment involves clear aligners, like Invisalign® or ClearCorrect®, it’s important to wear your aligners the recommended daily time frame. If not, your treatment will take longer and may cost more.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
