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.

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.
Dr.Sims spend time with his patients and I love my teeth
Can you believe it? 54 years of age and wearing braces. Its true, however. I want anyone that is considering orthodontics to know that my experience with Sims & Trawick Orthodontics has been extremely positive from the time of my consultation to now (a year into my braces wearing). I was very impressed that Dr Sims took time to call me personally the first evening of my braces to see how I was doing. Its been very easy to book appointments for adjustments and when I go into their office I'm greeted by their warm knowledgeable staff and, very often, both Doctors stop by to greet me and have a technical look at my progress. Has my mouth been sore? Yes. It goes with the territory. Have I ever been hurt by anyone that has adjusted me? No. They have all taken such good care of me thus far and it is for this reason that I whole heartedly recommend this office to anyone considering orthodontics. I realize that in today's world my review sounds... well... too good to be true, but I assure you I wrote this review and I firmly believe that all you need to do is stop in and let them see your situation and you will see what great professionals they are.
We love Sims Orthodontics! Super friendly and always fast service!
I’ve had an amazing experience here! I love how my teeth look and I’m getting my braces off next month! Dr Sims is so nice and will not let you down. I definitely recommend it!
Sims is the best. Lisa is a superior dental professional. Above all, they know how to make children feel comfortable, explaining the procedures in a way the children understand. They really helped my daughter with anxiety. Real professionals who care. Highly recommended.
I LOVE this office. Everyone is so lovely. I love how much they care about you during business hours and after business hours. GO HERE, take your babies here!! They are the best!
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.
I recently completed my treatment plan at Sims Orthodontics, and I can’t express enough how fantastic my experience was. Dr. Sims and his staff were absolutely fabulous. At 59 I didn’t expect that fixing my teeth would make such a significant difference and how I feel about myself, but it truly has. From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel welcomed and comfortable. They were professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about my needs and concerns. Dr. Sims is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, and he took the time to explain every step of the process, which put me at ease. The office environment is modern, clean, and inviting. The staff is friendly and always ready to help, ensuring that every visit is a pleasant experience. I am thrilled with the results of my treatment and grateful for the excellent care I received. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sims Orthodontics to anyone in need of orthodontic care. Whether you’re young or, like me, a bit older, Dr. Sims and his team will provide you with top-notch service and outstanding results. Thank you, Sims Orthodontics , for giving me the smile I am proud of!
Dr. Sims is an incredible orthodontist who has helped many of my patients of the years. He has very kind demeanor and is GREAT with kids and adults. I routinely have patients that I referred to him come back with great reviews. I look forward to working with him more in the future.

I have two kids who are in treatment. The staff is always so cheerful and helpful. Dr. Sims is professional and always takes time to answer any questions I have. We’ve got a while to go before the kids are finished, but I’m looking forward to their straight teeth!!
Sims has the nicest staff and always provides a welcoming environment
My 11 year old granddaughter is visiting me from Miami Beach and late Friday afternoon at the Blue Angels show, one of the wires on her braces started bothering her. It was very uncomfortable. I called Dr. Sims office and was immediately given an appointment for Monday morning at 8:30. We arrived early today, Monday, and she was immediately seen. It took just a few minutes to resolve her problem with her braces. I went to the window to pay for the visit. I was told there would be no charge. I explained she wasn't a patient of Dr. Sims and still was told no charge. What wonderful, kind, generous people. My granddaughter said: "I love them and this place. Its better than the office where I go at home." I would highly recommend Dr. Sims and his staff to anyone In Pensacola or the surrounding cities. You will be extremely happy with the people, the professionalism, the service, and the results. I wish I could give them 10 stars!! Happy Grandma!
