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.
From the moment you walk in all the way through the time you leave it is an incredible experience. Everyone is so friendly and they do a great job. I am terrified of anyone who has to go in my mouth and I can genuinely say I look forward to each and every appointment. If you need braces hands down they are the BEST! I am so thankful I found Dr. Sims and his staff.
This Orthodontics office has by far exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend them. The staff is so friendly and caring. Dr. Sims is very professiinal yet laid back to allow a comfortable experience for children. I firmly believe he is the best in thr city of Crestview.
Excellent experience. Dr. Sims and staff are super friendly. Recommend 100%
Office is amazing
It is a very warm and inviting place to be and everyone who works there is amazing
My daughter loves Dr Sims and all of his staff! As a mother I appreciate the professionalism of the staff and the fact that Dr Sims gives back his talent in the mission field.
I love it here, everyone is really nice and works with you as quickly and efficiently as they can.
This dude saved the day. There I was missing my two front teeth after engaging in an unnecessary heroine induced battle with a patient. The ole trusty narcan did its thing and next thing you know I was being flung around the room like a rag doll. Good Ole county insurance took great care of me by throwing me a pizza party and a partial denture that looked worse than the chiclets Dennis the menace replaced Mr. Wilson’s teeth with. I tell ya’ you couldn’t tell me and the patient apart! Dentist after dentist told me they couldn’t get me a partial within the next few days. With no hope I googled and contacted dr. Sims office and to my astonishment were able to see me same day. Picture this I walked in and they handed me a present just for showing my face. Who does that? Anyways, this doc comes in, chill af, and agrees with me that my partial looks like Abraham Lincolns wood dentures. Straight up tells me “ oh we can Atleast do better than that”. I wanted to cry I was so happy. Then he tells Me not only can he have something made that’s better, but within 15 minutes! I swear if my last two brain cells could have came out to hug this man they would have. This office is not only nice af, all the dental assistants were awesome too. Best part is I’m a broke paramedic Student on the county’s payroll and thought this would cost me my shriveled up caffeine infused eggs. It cost me half of what I was puckered up for! Go to this dentist. He’s the man. You won’t regret it.
Two of our daughter got braces here. The experience both times was great. We hope our third daughter doesn't need them but if she does, we know where to go.
I had the BEST experience there today. Having a special needs child, you never know what to expect at a drs. appt. The staff was very knowledgeable, prompt, friendly and just great to work with. I HIGHLY recommend Sims Orthodontics.
What a great office; warm like your own living room, experienced and efficient staff, and very professional. We are very happy with our experience and left today with braces on Charlie❤️
Great staff! Great dental work! My Child loves going and seeing Mrs. LIsa!!
We love this place! Everyone there is very friendly, and Dr Sims explains each step of my daughter’s treatment plan patiently and clearly. Also, the facility looks great with new equipment and lots of windows and natural light. Very inviting :)
Everyone is very nice and makes sure that you have the best experience you can. Mrs. Lisa has been fabulous with me so far!
Great orthodontist and awesome staff! I never had to wait long and scheduling was a breeze! Thank you for everything!
We started our Sims journey over two years ago. We have been nothing but pleased with everything, from the services, to the staff, to the payment options. Highly recommend 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.
As an adult I debated getting braces again . I had them as a teenager and life happened so I never finished the work I needed to do. But I decided I was going to get them again and I am so glad I did. Dr. Sims is wonderful and his staff is awesome too. Everything is moving along with my braces and it is really coming together now. So if you are debating getting them like I was .... get them it has been well worth it . I am so glad that I did and I really can't reccomend Dr.Sims enough he has made it a great experience for someone who wasn't sure if she wanted to go through braces again as an adult.
Dr Sims is a fabulous orthodontist and I had a very good experience. I went with Invisalign retainers and my teeth are perfect ! He's the best ! The Staff is wonderful also ! Great teamwork !
They have welcome us and make us feel so comfortable. I love the ladies and dr Sims. They all have patience and work with me and help me understand what’s going on with my daughter since I’m deaf! I highly recommended this dentist!
Dr. Sims and his staff create a wonderful atmosphere that makes getting braces, enjoyable! We had to move out of town in the middle of my son's treatment and Dr. Sims worked with us in order for us not to have to transfer to another orthodontist. One day, we couldn't make it to the appointment until almost an hour after they closed due to a flight delay. Dr. Sims and his staff stayed and waited for us. I can't thank them enough for being customer centric and understanding.
Everyone was so nice and were always asking us if we wanted water or coffee. As well as when I was getting my braces on, they were comforting me and talking to me. Thank you everybody. You were very nice.
Great place for family and kids. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.
My invisalign experience was good over all. The 1st tray hurt a lot but aside from that it was much easier than braces. I have had braces in the past and this is much better. The staff is very nice at both offices, they have supportive attitudes. I haven't been to any other orthodontists in the area but I would choose Sims again.
Staff is very welcoming, nice, and helpful!!! Love my new smile!
I recomend Dr. Sims to everyone needing an orthodontist. Great staff and very personable. Highly recommend
Dr. Sims is friendly, skilled, trustworthy and professional. The office staff and assistants are welcoming and always make each visit a pleasant experience. Look no further for your preferred Orthodontist!
I like it because they make feel good about my teeth and they have video games here
Dr. Sims and his staff are absolutely wonderful!! They are always extremely friendly. My daughter and I are both using their services. My daughter has braces and I have Invisalign. They work with you on payments so the financial part is made much easier. They always schedule our appointments together so I don’t have to make extra trips. There is never a long wait either. I am a perfectionist and I am impressed with the attention to detail they give! I’m super excited to see the final results. I highly recommend Dr. Sims! And Lisa, one of his assistants, always goes above and beyond to make her clients comfortable:)
love it they get you what you need an always have an awesome staff like lisa i love her and she's beautiful and awesome
