How to Choose the Right Orthodontist in Tampa, FL: What to Look For

Home » How to Choose the Right Orthodontist in Tampa, FL: What to Look For

  • Farina Orthodontic Specialists
  • May 23, 2025

Choosing the right orthodontist is a big decision. Whether you’re seeking treatment for yourself or a loved one, finding a provider who offers expert care, a personalized approach, and a comfortable environment is essential. If you’re searching in the Tampa area, you have some excellent choices, but knowing what to look for can make all the difference.

At Farina Orthodontic Specialists, we’re committed to helping you make an informed decision. Here’s what you should consider when choosing the right orthodontist in Tampa, FL.

1. Board-Certified Expertise You Can Trust

The first and most important factor? Credentials. Make sure the orthodontist you choose is a specialist with advanced training in tooth and jaw alignment, and ideally, Board-Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO).

At Farina Orthodontic Specialists, our team is proud to be led by Dr. Mark Farina, alongside Dr. Franco and Dr. Davis — all of whom are Board-Certified orthodontists. With years of experience and thousands of successful treatments, our team combines clinical excellence with a passion for creating confident smiles.

2. Customized Treatment Options That Fit Your Needs

Orthodontic care isn’t one-size-fits-all. A quality orthodontist will take time to evaluate your individual needs and offer the best treatment options for your lifestyle, goals, and budget.

Look for a provider who offers:

  • Invisalign clear aligners for discreet, removable treatment
  • Damon braces for faster, more comfortable results
  • Clear or ceramic braces for a less noticeable appearance
  • Early orthodontic care to guide children’s growth and development

We offer all of the above and more — because your smile deserves personalized care backed by the latest technology.

3. An Office That’s Convenient & Comfortable

Location, scheduling, and atmosphere all matter when you’re committing to orthodontic treatment. Choose an orthodontic office that makes it easy to stay on track.

Ask yourself:

  • Is the office conveniently located?
  • Is the team friendly, helpful, and responsive?
  • Are the spaces clean, modern, and welcoming?
  • Are virtual consultations available?

Farina Orthodontic Specialists has two Tampa-area locations, with flexible scheduling, a warm team environment, and modern technology to make your visits as smooth and stress-free as possible.

4. Affordable Payment Options & Transparent Pricing

Your orthodontist should help you understand your treatment plan, timeline, and cost from the very beginning. Look for a provider who offers:

  • Free consultations
  • Clear, upfront pricing
  • Flexible, interest-free payment plans
  • Help maximize your insurance or HSA/FSA benefits

We’re committed to making expert orthodontic care accessible. Our team will work with you to create a payment plan that works with your budget — no surprises.

5. A Reputation Backed by Real Results

Patient reviews and before-and-after photos say a lot about the quality of care you can expect. Read testimonials, check ratings, and look for an orthodontist with a strong, trusted presence in the community.

At Farina Orthodontic Specialists, we’re proud of our hundreds of 5-star reviews and the thousands of beautiful smiles we’ve helped create. We invite you to explore our testimonials and success stories to see the Farina difference for yourself.

Ready to Find the Right Orthodontist in Tampa?

When it comes to choosing an orthodontist in Tampa, FL, trust, experience, and personalized care should be your top priorities. At Farina Orthodontic Specialists, we bring all three together to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted — comfortably, affordably, and confidently.

Schedule your free consultation today and take the first step toward a healthier, more confident smile.
