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.
I recently had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Sims and his wonderful staff. I was a little anxious about having orthodontics, but they quickly eased my worries. Dr. Sims and his staff were very helpful in explaining the procedure and helping me decide what would be best for my needs. The office was laid back and inviting with a fun atmosphere. I look forward to future visits with Dr. Sims' office.
Dr.Sims is just absolutely amazing! His patience, understanding and his ability to explain every step of the procedure to my son and myself, is nothing less than priceless! His staff, there are no words for these ladies! Highly professional, very friendly, honestly make you feel like you have been friends for years! I am so glad that I selected Dr. Sims and his staff for my son!
My daughter loves going here. She’s been seeing Dr. Sims since he started in Crestview and it’s been nothing but fantastic. Would recommend to anyone!!
My visits are always efficient which I appreciate. The staff is very kind and Dr. Sims takes the time to make sure you are leaving with the smile you want. Have loved my experience after a few attempts with other offices.
Dr Sims & the entire staff have been incredible throughout our son’s journey with braces. Very knowledgeable, professional and just as important...very friendly. I strongly recommend Sims Orthodontics !!
Dr. Sims has taken care of all 3 of our kids teeth, we have been here for years. The staff is so friendly, the office is really nice and most importantly their smiles look great. Can’t recommend Sims Orthodontics enough!
We couldn't be more happy with the service we receive from Dr. Sims and his staff. Would certainly refer friends here.
Dr. Sims is super hreat with children snd very thorough on treatment plans and ortho options. Great staff, actually came in on weekend to fix kid's loose bracket. Treated myself and one child so far, always a pleasant experience.
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!
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!
I'm 21, had braces and full orthodontic treatment then I got them off at 16. I lost my retainers, got relapse and as a result have a slight over bite (probably a class 1)plus other teeth have shifted. I came in for a consultation, and although the doctor agreed my case wasn't severe by any means he still insisted it would take me 1 year of Invisalign or braces and 5141k to align my bite. (Even though braces are still cheaper Invisalign he said they were going to cost me the same.) Now, I'm not an orthodontist but believe me when I say I did my research before coming there and the cost of Invisalign is 3-8k depending on how bad your teeth are. I'm nowhere near a 6 or 8k job, probably 3k. Bottom line is, if you don't want to get ripped off shop around and see several different orthos. Ended up working with one who is only charging me 800$ and 6 months for treatment , so please keep this in mind if you're on the fence about getting your teeth aligned. It was very frustrating to go there and be lied to. Also, they threatened to sue me over making a negative review online.
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.
My brother and I were long time clients of Dr. Trawick and when Dr. Trawick sold his business to Dr. Sims he could not have chosen a better person! Dr. Sims and his staff are top notch! They are so friendly, well educated and has a super clean office! I recommend Dr. Sims 1000x times over anyone else! It’s worth the hour drive to come to his office.
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 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 is very efficient & always pleasant to visit! I have been going through the Invisalign process and love my teeth! I can’t wait to see the final outcome :)
Excellent experience. Dr. Sims and staff are super friendly. Recommend 100%
The staff is super friendly and helpful, they helped me get through almost 4 years of wearing braces with virtually no issue PS Lisa is fabulous
Professional and prompt experience as an adult getting put into braces at 35 years old. The staff was friendly and the in-chair experience was comfortable. Sandra Howard was amazing and set me up with the best course of action, alongside Dr Sims!!!
The atmosphere and professionalism in this office is second to none! Both of my kids come here, they are quick, and do knowledgeable. I’m thankful for the way they’ve made our cross country move seamless and the kids were able to easily continue their treatment plans.
My son transferred during the middle of treatment, doctors Bayer and Curtis didn't even bat an eye, even when they determined my son had a different type of braces than they use. The staff goes out of their way to make sure the family gets involved with the treatment. This is a wonderful group of people and I am glad that they bring their A game every day! Recently, my son lost his retainer; most places would not work out a payment plan for a retainer, but this place gave me options that would fit my budget. I just can't say enough about them.
Phenomenal ..... Everything. From treatment, facilities... to customer intersectio. The best we have had, hands down.
My daughters have been here multiple times and they have been incredibly patient with both and done everything they can to ease their fear and make sure they were as comfortable as possible during their procedures. Definitely recommend.
Dr. Clay Sims & his staff are amazing! Highly recommend anyone looking for an orthodontist to choose Dr. Sims, you will not be disappointed! At Dr. Sims’ office, you’re not treated like a number. 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.
I love Sims Orthodontics!! My journey to perfect teeth was made easy due to Dr.Sims & his amazing staff. I appreciate everyone so much & I can’t thank you guys enough.
