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.
Fun place, makes definite progress each time he is seen. They are great at explaining what is happening, what is coming up, and what we need to do in between visits.
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!
Dr. Sims and his staff are awesome!
Today was our first visit. Dr Sims and everyone on staff was so friendly. We were given a small tour and they explained everything that would be happening during the visit.
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!
The staff and orthodontist Sim are extremely helpful and I enjoyed my time with them! The braces process is very quick and easy. They explain everything thoroughly about the process. I am very happy with my now beautiful smile after being with them for 3 years! :)
Nicole took great care of us. She was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. The entire experience was great and I will recommend Sims Orthodontics to my friends and family.
They are always so nice and supportive to my kiddo. Makes getting braces a good experience and even the follow ups!
Everyone is always so friendly and Amanda was super sweet today! The change in my son's smile already is great!
Great people, great service, great work. I would recommend them to anyone. Dr. Sims is very knowledgeable, and everyone that works here has a fantastic attutide.
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.
Dr. Simms and staff are always available and very friendly. Both of my kids have had wonderful experiences with getting braces.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Sims and his staff! They are so friendly and ready to get you on track to a beautiful smile! I recommend them 100%!
Dr. Sims is an amazing orthodontist. I’ve have three of my four kids seen by him and we absolutely love how knowledgeable he is. He and his staff are wonderful!
Dr Sims and staff are awesome! Very professional and wonderful customer service.
Sims Orthodontist is awesome! My daughter started going there 11 months ago. Her teeth have changed tremendously to the good. She is loving her smile! Shout out to Lisa who is Fabulous and Laura who is a Rock Star! Love ya! Mackenzie and Trish Cottle
Dr. Sims and his staff continue to provide excellent care for my daughter, Roxy Parker Fountain. My husband and I highly recommend him.
Dr. Sims and his staff are amazing I just wanted to say that they are prompt, thorough and kind. I am almost sad I got my braces off because I looked forward to seeing them every eight weeks! I got braces as an adult because I had big gaps in my teeth . I disliked them to the point of deleting photos of myself because some of my photos appeared that I was missing teeth and now I love my smile!! You see confidence when you look at me now.. Thanks to all of Sims Orthodontist staff you are the best!! Especially you Brandy!!!
Totally impressed with Sims Orthodontics. Everyone was very friendly and personable. We had been here for a few consultations and didn’t feel pressured at all to get braces on right away but only when the time was right. Each part of the process was discussed very thoroughly. Grateful for the payment plan :)
Wonderful time there! They were very careful not to hurt me and were constantly asking if everything felt right!
Fantastic and friendly staff. Great place to go for braces.
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!
1-5-15 I am a current client and I absolutely LOVE these people. They are totally up-to-date on everything, they are great about keep clients informed and they've all encouraged me through the battle with my teeth. Plus the staff seems to maintain their smiles too (it's a happy place with some pretty teeth). My last visit with Lisa was most pleasant; I was able to request info and look at the x-rays and everything. She was great. I must add that having braces as a teacher makes it difficult to schedule appointments but the staff always try hard to find me an after-school appt. time and they even see patients on most holidays. I cannot boast enough about this company. 6 stars from me!
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.
The whole staff is fabulous. My daughter was so nervous, but they were able to keep her calm and took their time explaining everything to her. She has been able to transition with her appliance with very little discomfort and we are already noticing a difference. Her self esteem and her health has improved. Thank you Sims Orthodontics!
Friendly environment, explained everything very well. Excited for my son to get a beautiful smile from them.
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.
Both of our daughters were seen at Dr. Sim’s and it was awesome! Our youngest daughter had a lot of anxiety about getting braces and after her first visit she was no longer anxious. The staff is phenomenal!
My daughter, 12 yrs, was really scared but they all were very nice; they explained everything and in fact it was so easy! Besides our appointment was at 2pm and we didn't have to wait. She also got a gift ;)
Overall is an amazing place.They have taken very well care of me and always make me feel welcomed and taken care of. Oh and by the way, Mrs. Lisa is AMAZING;))
