Meet

Dr. Mallory Scott

Dr. Mallory Scott’s journey with the practice began back in 2010 when she worked alongside her mentor Dr. Richard Boyd. Inspired by the experience and knowledge she gained, she went on to open her own orthodontic practice in Beaufort, South Carolina, in 2012.

After nine successful years of running her Beaufort office and a satellite location in Hilton Head, Dr. Scott returned to the midlands in January 2021 to continue her passion for creating beautiful smiles.

Education and Expertise

Dr. Scott’s educational background reflects her dedication and love for learning:

Clemson University: Graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.

Medical University of South Carolina: Earned her Doctorate in Dental Medicine.

Saint Louis University: Completed her Master of Science in Dentistry with a specialty in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.

She began her career in psychology, pursuing a Ph.D. before transitioning to dentistry—a move that allowed her to blend her love for science and helping others.

Passion for Research and Teaching
Dr. Scott’s passion for education extends beyond patient care:

As an undergraduate, she worked as a research assistant in social psychology.

During her Ph.D. training in psychology, she worked for the Military Family Research Institute.

At MUSC, she served as a teaching assistant in oral immunobiology.

She also taught orthodontics at Southern Illinois University Dental School.

Her commitment to advancing the field of orthodontics continues as a proud member of:

American Association of Orthodontists

Palmetto Study Club

Implant Study Club

Greater Columbia Dental Association

Past President of the Orthodontic Education and Research Foundation

Board member of the South Carolina Dental Association Central District

Life Outside the Office
When she’s not perfecting smiles, Dr. Scott enjoys:

Tennis: Staying active on the court.

Hot yoga: Finding balance and focus.

Shoe shopping: Because one can never have too many!

Dr. Scott’s husband, Jake, leads a dual career as a fighter pilot at McEntire Joint National Guard Base and co-manages a fourth-generation family sawmill in Allendale. Together, they love:

Traveling: Exploring new destinations.

Spending time on the water: Whether boating or relaxing by the shore.

Adventures with their dog, Bogey: A spirited pup who loves chasing squirrels, barking at passing boats, and sleeping in late.

Dr. Scott is excited to bring her expertise, enthusiasm, and a warm, welcoming approach to Indigo Orthodontics. She looks forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your best smile!
