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.
Getting braces at the age of 28 was a tough decision to make, but it was definitely the best thing I have ever done for myself. And I couldn't have chose a better orthodontist! Dr. Sims and his staff are such wonderful people and made my experience one that I will never forget. The office atmosphere is fun, playful, and full of energy. I will definitely be using Dr. Sims for my future kids and will continue to recommend him. Thanks to Dr. Sims & his staff for helping to make a better me!!!!
Dr. Sims and his staff are absolutely amazing! I recently moved to the area and was already in braces. I was seen very quickly and my treatment was continued seamlessly. I couldn't believe how easy it was! Dr. Sims and my oral surgeon worked together to determine the best course for me and his staff are always very flexible with scheduling. I have threechildren that will need orthodontics and I will definitely be taking them to Dr. Sims. ***A special thank you to Amanda!

Appointments are never rushed & patient care is their top priority. Every step of the orthodontic process is explained in detail & they’re always available for any questions we may have. We couldn’t be more happy we chose Dr. Sims for our daughter’s orthodontic care.
Dr. Sims and his staff were very professional and courteous throughout the entire process. I was very impressed by how much care and detail they take with each and every client.
Dr. Sims has been so wonderful with our orthodontics experience! He has kept us more than informed on the plan and really included us in the process. The office staff are so sweet and always make us feel comfortable. From Amy who did our first consultation and photos to Lisa who applied the braces...and all of the people in between...we appreciate you! Cameron already had a great smile, but you all will help him be ready to show it off for years to come!!
Dr. Sims and his staff have been amazing all of the way around. I have one kid that has gone through the full braces treatment and my second one is getting ready to start. They have been awesome with scheduling, figuring about the best treatment and payment options, and keeping my kids calm during procedures. I would recommend Sims to everyone
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.
Dr. Sims Orthodontist is a great place to go for all your orthodontist needs. I was taking my son to see Dr. Bayer for about 8 years and now Dr Sims for the past 2 years. The staff is very friendly, full of smiles, and the facility is always clean and organized. The staff all work well together and make you feel very comfortable. Mrs. Lisa put on the braces 7 years ago and then also the second set 3 years ago. Mrs Lisa is so awesome. My son was very nervous about the procedure and Mrs. Lisa kept him smiling and laughing throughout both procedures. Dr Sims is very knowledgeable and super sweet and very patient . I highly recommend Dr. Sims Orthodontist to anyone. Thanks Dr. Sims, and staff, especially Mrs. Lisa for making my boys feel confident about their smile.

Fantastic service!! I had such an amazing first time visit! I would recommend this office to EVERYONE!!!!!
My Son Cameren has been seeing Dr Sims since August 1st 2016. Every visit is just as amazing as the last and we look forward to the next one. Today they got us in on a two hour notice due to an emergency and also took care of his two month commitment. To Amanda, who took care of my son today, thank you. Seeing him smile makes my day and the joy he has when we come see you guys is uplifting. If my daughter needs braces believe me when I say I will go nowhere else.
We love Sims Orthodontist! The staff is so friendly and professional.
Sims orthodontics does a wonderful job at taking care of Laila's teeth. Dr. Sims always does a wonderful job at answering my questions and Lisa is so caring and wonderful..
Had the first evaluation appointment for our son and what a great experience that was. Sharon was so thorough in explaining everything. The staff couldn't be any nicer. We had our second appointment with Lisa to have the molds and bite impression made. Our son like how well Lisa did her job that he requested her to put on his braces. Lisa did and amazing job! Lisa was also very thorough in explain all the after care. Defiantly a great place and staff!

I took my son for 3 consultations with different orthodontists before deciding on Sims. Their prices were in line with the others, but what really sold me was their customer service. Everyone has been so kind and amazing to work with! I would highly recommend Sims Orthodontics!
Good orthodontist, very friendly
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!!
Everyone is very nice and makes sure that you have the best experience you can. Mrs. Lisa has been fabulous with me so far!
My son had his braces on for about a year. Sims orthodontic does an excellent job with informing my son what he needs to do when caring for his teeth with braces. I am very pleased with the services and the up keep of my sons braces.
They are amazing!! They have gone above and beyond for my son. The staff is great and the Dr is very personable, and addressed all my questions.
Sims Orthodontics is great! They have done an excellent job in maintaining my daughters treatment especially with such a challenging situation of missing canine teeth. My daughter loves going and really like the colored bands, which helped her with keeping up with wearing them.
Great place with awesome employees like Amanda! The waiting room has games for kids and reading material so you’ll have something to do while your wait
