This one is the easiest question to answer. If you watch any of the videos on my website you can see I am so grateful to be in a profession that provides such a life changing service to so many kids and adults. We transform a patient’s smile but that does so much more for them. It is so rewarding to watch a shy, unconfident kid just come out of their shell, start talking and smiling more and just being more confident once their teeth start getting straighter. I have an opportunity to connect with so many kids (and adults) and not only build a relationship with them but influence them in a positive way.
I am part of the cleft palate and craniofacial clinic and many of these patients have been through so much. They have very complex dental and orthodontic needs and it can be very challenging technically but also emotionally. Watching them positively change physically and emotionally is one of the most rewarding things we do at my office.

I would consider myself a true Hometown orthodontist in Pensacola. I was born in Pensacola and lived in Gulf Breeze until I left for college. I had the opportunity to fulfill my dream of practicing orthodontics in Pensacola when Dr. Trawick entrusted me with the responsibility of his 40-year-old practice. I am honored to provide orthodontics to many of the grandchildren of his former patients. The location is conveniently located for anyone living in Pensacola. It is also a top orthodontics practice for those living in Pace, Milton, Cantonment, and Perdido with a maximum of 15 minute drive. Our office is right off I-110 and next door to Barnes and Nobles and Sam’s Club.
Fun Fact: We also occasionally have patients fly in for treatment if they have moved as the office is only five minutes from the Pensacola International Airport. Dr. Sims loves to fish, so if you do please share your best fishing stories!
For the longer morning appointments many parents drop their kids off and go to Sam’s Club to do some bulk shopping. Read this page in Spanish here – Ortodóncista de Pensacola, Florida
Looking for a straighter smile but can’t bear the thought of wearing traditional metal braces? Invisalign may be a good option for you. The Invisalign aligners are removable and virtually invisible, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing! Plus, Dr. Sims is a board-certified Invisalign Premier Provider, which means he has achieved a significant level of experience in treating patients with the Invisalign system. Learn More About Invisalign.
The most common age for braces is between 11-years-old and 15-years-old. This is usually the perfect time for treatment because children at this age are growing rapidly, and we can take advantage of these growth spurts to help shape the bite and teeth correctly.
Braces aren’t just for kids anymore! Orthodontic treatment later in life can drastically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem, as well as the health of your teeth and gums. If you are experiencing gum and/or bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of tooth enamel and tooth surfaces, headaches, or jaw (TMJ/TMD) pain, this may be a result of crooked teeth or a bad bite. That’s where we come in!
Two-phase orthodontic treatment is a specialized process that combines tooth straightening and physical facial changes. Sims Orthodontics in Pensacola, Florida uses the two-phase treatment to give children the healthiest, most functional, and most beautiful result, which will remain stable throughout their lives.
For most patients, orthodontic treatment can be provided without any need for surgery. However, in more severe cases, corrective surgical treatment may be the best option to help you achieve the results you want and deserve. If you suffer from jaw bone abnormalities, bite abnormalities, or malocclusion (the abnormal alignment of the upper and lower teeth), Sims Orthodontics can help answer your questions about surgical treatment and refer you to the best surgeon in town.
Getting your braces taken off is cause for celebration, and all of us at Sims Orthodontics certainly commend you for reaching this important milestone in your orthodontic treatment! However, orthodontic treatment does not end when the braces are removed. At this point, you begin the retention stage of your treatment, and your final orthodontic result will depend on your retainers.
1-5-15 I am a current client and I absolutely LOVE these people. They are totally up-to-date on everything, they are great about keep clients informed and they've all encouraged me through the battle with my teeth. Plus the staff seems to maintain their smiles too (it's a happy place with some pretty teeth). My last visit with Lisa was most pleasant; I was able to request info and look at the x-rays and everything. She was great. I must add that having braces as a teacher makes it difficult to schedule appointments but the staff always try hard to find me an after-school appt. time and they even see patients on most holidays. I cannot boast enough about this company. 6 stars from me!
Fun place, makes definite progress each time he is seen. They are great at explaining what is happening, what is coming up, and what we need to do in between visits.
Love Sims! Everyone is very friendly and kind! They share what they’re doing and why to get your teeth straight and how to help your kids experience be the best it can be.
The Dr. Sims and staff are very professional and caring. Everything was explained with great detail. We are pleased we decided to come here. #teamsims
I absolutely love Bayer And Curtis orthodontics! Its very close to home and the ladies/gentlemen are very careful and kind! I got my braces about 6 months ago and they are still going strong! I have been going to Lisa for many of my appointments and she is awesome!!!!
Today's the big day! My daughter's braces are coming off after 2 fabulous years of treatment. We can't thank Dr Sims and his awesome staff enough for their service during her treatment. They truly go above and beyond. They are friendly, patient, very professional, maintain a clean, beautiful, cheerful environment in the office, and made my daughter feel comfortable and special every step of the way through the process. Thank you all for a wonderful experience and a BEAUTIFUL smile! We love Dr Sims!!

Wonderful staff! Patient and kind and make treatments a fun experience! Diligent and persistent resolving insurance issues. So happy to have such caring staff in all aspects!
I got my braces off today after 3 years, and I am SO happy. I’m really glad I chose Dr. Sims! I remember he was not trying to sell me on anything during our consultation - he just gave me the info and wanted me to pick the option that made me happy. He’s a perfectionist, and I admire that. He also has the kindest staff. Every visit was welcoming and pleasant. The best in Pensacola. THANK YOU!
Professionalism at it’s finest. Sims Orthodontics has a friendly and helpful staff and atmosphere. Our family has three children who have all been patients of Dr. Sims and each experience has exceeded expectations. Mom might even become the newest Invisalign patient soon!
It’s a very comfortable process working with Sims. I would most definitely recommend my friends to get their braces here. On a side note Amanda is the best. :)
Nothing but good things to say! So happy with the kind office staff and technicians as well as Dr. Sims patience and generosity. It’s always a pleasure to visit.
We love Dr Sims and his staff! Our children have been seen there for the last two years and the whole staff is very friendly. Recently we needed to make a last minute change to my daughter's appointment. The staff was very accommodating and was able to help us find an appointment immediately, even though the schedule was filled. We are so grateful for their help, and the amazing rapport they have with our kids. The staff goes out of their way to make everyone feel calm and taken care of. Would recommend this practice to anyone in the area in need of orthodontic care.
Dr. Sims is an amazing orthodontist. I’ve have three of my four kids seen by him and we absolutely love how knowledgeable he is. He and his staff are wonderful!

Wonderful staff and doctor. My son has health issues and they have gone above and beyond to help him and soothe his fears. Festina, Brittany, and Nicole were fantastic in helping him and taking the time he needed to get his appointment done.
My son was given his choice of Orthodontist to pick after visiting 3. He chose Sims due to the relax atmosphere; he says it doesn't make you feel like you're at the dentist! All of the staff is super friendly and easy to work with; I would definitely refer/chose Sims!!
We have used Sims now for our son and daughter. Great with friendly staff!
I would like to express my thanks to Bayer & Curtis Orthodontics for the excellent care provided to my son Thomas. They always make him feel comfortable and their work is flawless. I would recommend them to anyone who has a child in need of orthodontic care.
Dr Sims was great, he helped our daughter with braces. It was so easy all we had to do was show up for each appointment. Highly recommend taking your kids here if you need help.

On my last appointment, I loved it because I had a great check up and I got my colors on for taking care of my teeth! I absolutely love Bayer and Curtis Orthodontics.
Totally impressed with Sims Orthodontics. Everyone was very friendly and personable. We had been here for a few consultations and didn’t feel pressured at all to get braces on right away but only when the time was right. Each part of the process was discussed very thoroughly. Grateful for the payment plan :)
Currently receiving Ortho treatment, 7 months in and every time I go in for anything EVERYONE is so welcoming and friendly! Couldn’t of asked for a better Orthodontist!
