One can have the kind of smile that opens doors socially and professionally for the rest of your life. Another great benefit is an improved bite that leads to better dental health. We believe that everyone deserves a healthy, confident smile.

From the moment you step foot in our door to your last follow-up visit, Pickering & Allen Orthodontics is here to coach you through every step of the way with the most experienced dental team in Knoxville!.

Dr. Jim Pickering, Dr. Tyler Allen, and their staff are equipped and excited about giving their patients the best orthodontic care available. We have two convenient locations in Knoxville, Tennessee. Our expertly trained staff has more than 355 years of experience. This allows us to serve you in the best possible manner.
Your treatment plan will include a breakdown of all applicable fees, and we will inform you of all costs before treatment is administered.

Dr. Tyler R. Allen is passionate about creating gorgeous, healthy smiles! His love of patient care and desire to always make others smile led him to pursue a career in dentistry. He is a summa cum laude graduate of Arkansas State University. Dr. Allen next attended the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry, again earning honors including a national honor society.
When we asked our staff and patients this question, the responses ranged from funny to humbling. Some examples were "I love the radio station you play" and "I always felt loved when I came in." At Pickering & Allen Orthodontics our ultimate goal is to provide the best care and service to our patients, while having fun and making them feel like family.

Dr. Allen is excellent!! He took the time to explain everything and was able to customize my Invisalign treatment so that in just 5 weeks I could tell a huge difference in my smile. I originally came in because I had not been wearing a retainer for years and my dentist informed me my teeth were beginning to shift. Dr. Allen addressed that concern but also took extra time to shape my two front teeth to make them more even. I am so much happier with my smile now thanks to Dr. Allen and his staff-I would recommend this group to anyone!

Great experience!! I’m not an existing patient with Pickering & Allen, but I went in after my permanent retainer broke because I am an out of state student in college, and was in and out in only 30 minutes! They put in a new retainer for me and all the doctors were so nice and accommodating to my situation, fitting me into their schedule on the same day I called. It was pain-free and the new retainer feels great. 10/10 would recommend!! Great atmosphere, great doctors, they did a very good job!

Dr. Pickering is just a good and honest man. He does good work, and he won’t lie to you to make a buck. He re-set my retainer put on by another orthodontist multiple times for no charge. I highly recommend Dr. Pickering.

Very professional and perfectionists! I did Invisalign with this office hassle free & fair pricing. They are always willing to try & work you in where needed & they aren’t finished working until you’re happy with results! Terri is fantastic for information & scheduling!

My son had a consultation appointment for braces, and everyone was extremely kind and upbeat. Misty was knowledgeable, personable, and thorough throughout the appointment. Their equipment is state of the art, and Dr. Allen was so friendly and helpful. We are definitely looking forward to our future visits here!
