Dr. Grace Simco, a Board-Certified Orthodontist, leads the team at Grace’s Braces and serves on the clinical faculty at the Bolton-Brush Growth Study Center at Case Western Reserve University—an internationally renowned center for Human Facial Growth research.

​

Originally educated in China, Dr. Grace earned her medical and dental degrees from Nanjing Medical University before completing a three-year orthodontic residency at CWRU. Her unique dual training in both China and the U.S., combined with her research collaboration with the Sleep Medicine Center at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center—a nationally recognized leader in sleep-disordered breathing and affiliated with Case Western Reserve University—positions her at the forefront of growth-focused orthodontics and integrative airway care.

​

By combining this growth focused research with leading imaging technologies, Dr. Grace is uniquely qualified to provide modern orthodontic treatments to her patients. Insights from her research help her determine when and how to treat children considering their varying growth patterns.  Her use of modern imaging approaches enhances her ability to diagnose, whether regarding traditional braces, Invisalign aligners, TMJ/TMD symptoms or sleep apnea challenges.  Dr. Grace continues her research and maintains a teaching role at Case Western.  She is also a periodic guest lecturer at other universities, including her alma mater in Nanjing in China.

Dr. Grace focuses on healthy growth and restful sleep by enhancing airway function and optimizing orofacial development. Her integrative approach supports clear breathing, balanced facial growth, and serene rest—laying the foundation for lifelong health and natural beauty.

A passionate educator and researcher, she continues to teach at Case Western and lecture internationally. Her mission is to advance interdisciplinary, airway-conscious orthodontic care that promotes wellness from childhood through adulthood.

In her free time, Dr. Grace, her husband Steve, and their four-legged companions Murphie and Milo, Maggie enjoy hiking and biking in the local parks, fishing on the local rivers and lakes and experiencing the history and international culture of the greater Philadelphia area.  Thanks to Murphie, Dr. Grace learned a lot about dog behavior and now enjoys training dogs whenever she gets the chance. Grace also loves cooking for her family and friends, both authentic Chinese dishes and recipes from around the world.
