Detailed Introduction

Dobbs Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic practice located in Knoxville, TN, at 1516 Coleman Rd STE 208. The clinic is headed by Dr. Mary Ellen Dobbs, a highly qualified and experienced orthodontist who is Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. Dr. Dobbs completed her orthodontic program at the University of Illinois and her dental program at the University of Tennessee. The philosophy at Dobbs Orthodontics revolves around providing high-quality, individualized care with a personal touch. They strive to make the orthodontic experience as comfortable and rewarding as possible for their patients. The team focuses on developing positive personal relationships while working to achieve beautiful smiles and healthy mouths. Dobbs Orthodontics offers a comprehensive range of orthodontic solutions to address various dental alignment issues. These include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces (for a more discreet appearance), and Invisalign® clear aligners, catering to both adults and children. They also offer early orthodontic treatment for younger patients to guide jaw growth and the eruption of permanent teeth, potentially simplifying later treatment and reducing the need for extractions. In more severe cases requiring jaw correction, they collaborate with oral and maxillofacial surgeons for orthognathic surgery. The clinic emphasizes patient education, ensuring that patients and their parents are well-informed about their dental and orthodontic issues and treatment plans. As the sole orthodontist in the practice, Dr. Dobbs provides continuity of care, meaning patients can expect to see the same provider at each appointment. They also offer flexible payment plans to make treatment accessible. Patient testimonials highlight the friendly staff, low wait times, and the doctor's ability to explain conditions well.

ABSOLUTELY the best staff! We have had two children to be treated by Dr. Dobbs and staff and it has been a great experience. They are like family. Results have been amazing.

Dr. Dobbs is a fantastic orthodontist who is very good at her job and both of my girls cases were very difficult and we have had nothing but good results. I drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come to this office. Can’t say enough about how happy we have been with this office!

Dr. Dobs and all of her staff are kind, thorough and extremely skilled. Our kiddo just finished two years in braces, and every single visit we had was delightful. When we had an issue with a bracket early on, they fit us in same day for a fix. They have all been really great about clearly explaining what is going to happen before doing it (which is really helpful for our kid), and are gentle and warm when they are working.

The braces corrected for extreme crowding, bite adjustment, and lots of out of place teeth, and all is perfect now. I just cannot say enough positive things about our experience. We came via a recommendation from a friend, and will be recommending Dobbs to everyone we know in return.

I have been visiting Dobbs since I was seven and a half months pregnant, and they have made this journey remarkably stress-free. The staff is incredibly accommodating, especially when I bring my daughter along. The service is efficient, and they have taken excellent care of my dental health, clearly explaining each step of the process from the very beginning.

I absolutely loved going to Dr. Dobbs!! I had impacted canine work along with braces during my time here.

I always looked forward to my visits to chat with all my girls at the office!! Whenever I broke anything or anything was bothering me they were also super fast to get me in to fix it! I just got braces off and am absolutely in love with how they turned out!! Not only is the work they did on me amazing, but so are all of the women and Dr. Dobbs!!
