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.
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.
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!
Very professional. Love Dr Sims and his Staff!
All 3 of my kids have gone through Sims! We have always been happy with the service and outcome.
Dr. Sims and his staff are extremely personable and professional. They are so nice and concerned about my wife‘s and son’s care.
We love Dr. Sims and his entire staff!
Professionalism at it’s finest. Sims Orthodontics has a friendly and helpful staff and atmosphere. Our family has three children who have all been patients of Dr. Sims and each experience has exceeded expectations. Mom might even become the newest Invisalign patient soon!
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.
Warm, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere. They were very accommodating with our comfort and all our orthodontic concerns. Dr. Sims and and our tech, Ms. Lisa, gave our teen a 5 Star treatment on his first visit...looking forward to the next one.
Amazing experience! Always gets me back earlier than the appointment time. Sends reminding emails. Willing to work with me on everything. LOVE them
Sims always gives me and my family the best service. i am always satisfied with results and they have left my teeth looking better than ever!!
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!!
Always great people who treat you amazing and answer all of your questions with grace.
From: Toby Lorge; Amazing and professional staff; Great with kids; Awesome waiting area with games for kids and drinks for the parents; Can squeeze you in ASAP for any issues or problems. Would highly recommend to family and friends.
We‘ be had a great experience from the beginning, 2 years ago. Another great experience today getting braces. Friendly, experienced staff. Highly recommended. Great with kids.
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.
From start to finish Nicole kept a smile on my face and she made my first visit so easy. The environment is so peaceful. Dr. Sims was really nice and straight to the point. Thank you all. See you soon!
This is absolutely the most amazing ortho experience a moving military family could ask for! The staff and Dr. Sims are amazing. They were all so kind, courteous, and helpful in handling my daughter's braces and our transfer halfway through her treatment. I would 5/5 recommend them to any and all families in the area or military fams moving in!
Dr. Sims is the best orthodontist in town. He is very professional and friendly. His staff is great. I highly recommend.
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
Dr. Sims is a very great orthodontist! I feel really comfortable every time I go in! Definitely one of the best!
Wonderful, family friendly atmosphere. Dr. Sims and his fabulous staff always make you feel welcome. They are all awesome! Professional, courteous, and super friendly. Plus...Dr. Sims has the coolest doctors’ office around. My kids look forward to going to the office; from looking at the new fish in the tank, to playing multiple games in the kids corner. The best orthodontist service in Pensacola!
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.
very welcoming and i feel excited to go each time
Great place, great service, My son loves the different colors bands he gets to pick. The material of the wires are great.never broken a band
Awesome staff!! Always a friendly and great experience .
Dr Sims and his staff are the best!!! Highly recommend!!! Caring and professional always.
Love love love Dr Simms and Staff! Always friendly and make the process so easy! Highly recommend for patients of any age!
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.
Both of my daughters started see the orthodontist here. It’s an absolute gorgeous and clean environment. All of the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
