Our mission is to make a positive impact on the lives of our patients and their families by providing the highest quality, most efficient orthodontic treatment available by a highly trained team. Dr. Runnels and his team commit each day to provide an outstanding orthodontic experience in an uplifting, comforting environment where patients and their families are the primary concern.
How is an orthodontist different from a dentist? This is a question we commonly hear from prospective patients, and we understand that the difference between an orthodontist and dentist may be unclear to people who aren't members of the dental community. If you have questions that we haven't answered here, we invite you to contact us so that we can help you make the most educated decision possible about the future health and beauty of your smile. Like a dentist, an orthodontist is an oral health care provider.
Dr. Scott Runnels Orthodontics wants all of our patients to leave our practice with bright white smiles. In addition to adding radiance to your smile, we also want to give you a comfortable and luxurious patient experience. To help us out with this, we'd appreciate if you'd leave a review with the other ones that are featured below.

Dr. Runnels and the staff are great with my son! My son is an active patient with Invisalign. They have made the process easy, make him feel comfortable when we are there and always eager to help answer any questions he or I have!

I was a patient of Dr. Runnels years ago. He was the most amazing doctor, and his staff is the BEST! I am extremely pleased with the results of my braces, and they still look perfect! Dr. Runnels is a master at Orthodontics! Would recommend him to EVERYONE!

I am completely blown away with Dr. Runnels and his incredible staff for helping me achieve my dream smile with Invisalign. From the moment of my consultation to getting my retainers today, I had nothing but the best customer service. I was originally told by a different orthodontist that I wouldn't be able to achieve a straight smile along with an even bite with Invisalign, but with Dr. Runnels expert knowledge of Invisalign and top of the line equipment he was able to do just that! I highly recommend his office for all of your orthodontics needs.

Dr. Runnels did my Invisalign treatment years ago, and now both my husband and daughter are patients too. His office staff is always really great to work with and the office is always clean! We are one happy family of patients with beautiful smiles!

My experience with Dr. Runnels has been pretty incredible. I walked into his Ortho Office location, Inlet Beach, in October 2019 for an Invisalgn Consultation. His entire Staff was warm, welcoming and very capable. I received my Invisalagn trayers and within months my coworkers noticed the change in my smile. Now, a year later and I am in the convenient Destin Office for a Final Consultation (October 2020).

I absolutely LOVE my smile. Oh! Did I mention that after your first consultation, virtual visits can be arranged. 2020 has been a bizarre year for many but for my smile, it has been nothing less than OUTSTANDING! Thank you to Dr. Runnels and his Staff!

I absolutely love Dr. Runnels and all of his staff. His office is extremely organized, clean and beautiful. My kids are both in braces and actually look forward to going to see him. I am also finishing up my Invisalign treatments and my teeth look better than ever! I highly recommend Dr. Runnels.

My daughter and I are both patients, and we are so happy with our care. Dr. Runnels & his staff are always happy to answer our questions, and we have never had to wait beyond our scheduled appointment times. He has incentive programs for the kids to keep them engaged in their progress, which is cool!

Dr. Runnels and his staff are amazing. They are all so polite, caring, and knowledgeable. The office is very professional and a fun environment. He took the time to really get to know what I wanted and hope to expect with my treatment. I am an adult patient of his but to see how comfortable and excited the kids are coming in for their appointments just shows how awesome him and his team really are with making EVERYONE (kids, teens, and adults) feel relaxed about their visit. Two thumbs up for Dr. Runnels and his staff!
