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.
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!
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!!
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.
We love Dr Sims. Both of my girls have been treated by him. The whole staff is nice and very helpful. Make an appointment, you will not be disappointed.
I love the open and friendly atmosphere at Sims Orthodontics. All of the employees greet us with a smile and coordinate their outfit colors. Everyone there seems to treat one another with respect and it seems like a nice place to work. When customers come in and employees truly seem to love their job, it makes customer happy :) I also like the open atmosphere and feel comfortable enough to ask questions.
The whole staff is wonderful! I wish all visits to doctors/dentist would be as easy and friendly as you experience with Sims Orthodontics!
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 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!
My 10 year-old son had his first appliance put in about a week ago. I was very impressed with the attention and professionalism of the staff. Everyone was very patient and caring to my son. Each doctor spoke to us, reviewed my son's records as well as gave an exam. I feel very confident in the doctors' abilities and recommendations for my child's health. Highly recommend!

If anyone needs orthodontic care, I highly recommend Sims Orthodontist!

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!
I've been going here for only just a couple of months and I've had no problems at all. If I had a problem with my braces they don't mind fixing it and would go out of their way to spend extra time just to make sure I'm comfortable. Fully recommend this place!!
Dr. Sims is great. He takes the time to explain in great detail with pictures any questions I or my 9 year old has about treatment. Really happy with our Ortho choice.
Really professional staff, we love Dr Sims, positive vibes all day long.
Beyond the waiting room being geared towards kids and adults as well, the entire place is set up to keep kids as calm as possible. There are no tiny closed off rooms. Everything is open, music playing, cartoons on, fish tank. It's more than kid friendly and the staff is excellent. Highly recommend.
