Orthodontic therapy can normalize oral function related to chewing and speech, decrease the risk of trauma to severely protruding teeth, enhance self-esteem by improving appearance, help to protect the jaw joints by establishing a functional relationship of the teeth that will be more supportive for the joints, and reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Scott began practicing orthodontics in Lakeland in 1987 and was recognized by the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce as “Small Business of the Year” in 2012. His office is located at 5110 South Lakeland Drive.
