"Dr. Franco at Farina Orthodontics was wonderful!! I went to Farina for Invisalign, after another orthodontist did not successfully complete my treatment. Dr. Franco took the time to meet with me, review my treatment, and ensure that he knew exactly what I expected for my teeth. Each time I went to Farina, he greeted me with a friendly personality and made sure everything was going to plan. I am grateful for Dr. Franco and the great staff they have at the Swann location - thank you for helping me with my smile! :)"
"As always Dr. Farina and staff were wonderful. Everyone always greets every patient a smile and are always available to answer any questions. I know this is going to be a smooth ride.

Thank you to Dr. Farina and staff."

"I had a great experience at Farina! I arrived about 30 minutes early to my appointment and they got me in right away! My treatment coordinator Jessica L. Was phenomenal! Answered all my questions and eased any concerns I had! Can’t wait for my Invisalign!"
"I had orthodontic treatment here as an adult and had excellent results! Dr. Farina was able to treat my specific case with Invisalign when other orthodontists told me it was not possible with Invisalign alone. I just brought my daughter here the other day to start her treatment and she loves her Invisalign. Office is always clean, appointments are quick, and everyone is very friendly. Cost is reasonable with 0% in house financing. Best orthodontist around!"
"Thanks to Dr. Farina, my daughter had her serious orthodontic problems corrected. Her tooth was on its side due to not enough room in her jaw. This condition would have caused serious dental issues in the future. Her other teeth were also crowded and crooked. This was her second treatment because the first orthodontist didn’t correct the problem (2 yrs and $6000). Dr. Farina personally developed the Invisalign treatment for her 18 month treatment. Today, her mouth looks absolutely beautiful. Perfect teeth! Thank you Dr. Farina! Bless you for the high quality work that you do!"
"I'm currently in the middle of my Invisalign treatment and I have to say, Dr. Franco and Dr. Farina are amazing! The staff here is also incredibly friendly and helpful. The success of Invisalign really comes down to your discipline, but the team goes above and beyond to support you in achieving the best smile possible. One thing I really like is being able to track my ongoing transformation on the Smile Doctors app. Highly reccomend the team here if you are looking to start Invisalign."
"Dr Farina is awesome at every appointment, and fixing things another dentist messed up years ago (middle teeth were bonded weirdly by another dentist). The office is new, with state of the art equipment. Wish I started Invisalign here sooner"
"Dr. Mark Farina, Gabriella, and team are so phenomenal and wonderful. I just got my Invisalign today and thought I had chipped a tooth during the process.Within minutes of me messaging them photos and questions, they were responding, showing me my scans, and calming me down. It was just some glue from the attachments and I was being neurotic.All this was done through their app. I didn't even have to pick up the phone. Wow!I am so thankful to know that my orthodontic and orthognathic journey is being guided by such caring and responsive professionals.I had consulted with so many orthodontists before I finally picked one, and today made me glad I chose them."
"Dr Farina is amazing! I am so happy with my teeth after Invisalign !! I can’t say enough about the office staff! I would highly recommend Farina orthodontics."
"Thank you so much to Dr. Farina and staff for taking such good care of my children, start to finish. We looked all over North Tampa at ortho specialists to work on braces for my son. The doctors (there are a few) are very proactive and my children never had pain or issues whatsoever start to finish. No hidden fees ever popped up. I am coming back myself soon to start invisalign after hearing Dr. Farina is the #1 provider in FL."
"Dr. Farina is just simply the best! He did my braces when I was 12 years old and even then he made the process so memorable! Now I’m 35 & I wanted my smile to go back to my young years so I looked for Farina again! So happy I did! I did Invisalign with them for two years and my smile is now perfect! Everyone in the office is so nice and professional, they are always on time, everything is so clean & Dr. Farina is just truly one of the best people you will ever meet! It makes such a difference to have your dental work done with an actual Doctor and go into the office for checkups! They really listen to you, show you every step in the process & make sure you are happy with your smile.Thank you for being so great, 20 years ago & now!"
"I had my Invisalign done here. As a fellow professional in the service industry, I felt I received top-notch service from the entire staff. Incredible results and I really felt taken care of as a client. There are a lot of little things that they do that really add up. Worth every penny and highly recommend Dr. Farina and his team."
"I wore Invisalign for 3.5 years. I had a bad underbite, class 3 malocclusion and was suffering from TMJ disorder.I heard that correcting the bite could fix the TMJ, so I went to consult Dr. Farina. He felt he could certainly fix my bite. I had gone to an oral surgeon previously and he explained that my jaw would have had to be cut and wired shut, the healing process would take weeks, and I would have to eat out of a straw. So, braces sounded like the better option. I started my journey in October of 2019. It is now March 2023 and I just got my Invisalign off. It was very much worth the investment, time and effort. Thank you Dr. Farina and team for correcting my smile! I love it!"
"I’m coming at it from the perspective of an adult with orthodontic needs (Invisalign). Suffice to say, Dr. Farina and his staff are the most professional, personable and efficient dentist I have ever seen (and that is saying something given that I come from a family of great dentists!)Whether for yourself or your child, I could not recommend Dr. Farina more strongly. He actually makes orthodontics… fun? Lol"
"I got my Invisalign done here and it was an amazing experience. Everyone was super nice and professional.They gave me a lot of different options and were always willing to answer my questions. I would definitely recommend Farina to everyone."
"6 months into my treatment I am so happy I went with Dr. Farina and his team!!He is 100% the best orthodontist anyone can see and his staff is made up of the most helpful and kind people. I’ve had different recommendations to correct my bite through surgery and one dentist recommended veneers. Here I am 6 months later with a huge difference in my bite and smile with Dr. Farina’s guidance through Invisalign. Definitely start with a consult here you will be surprised how confident and knowledgeable this team is."
"Dr. Farina and his staff are wonderful! I’ve had great results with Invisalign. I get in quick and on time for appointments and everyone is always very friendly."
"As a long time patient of Dr. Farina (braces as a kid and Invisalign as an adult), I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Dr. Farina and his staff are always incredibly kind and never make you feel bad about missing appointments or inconsistently wearing Invisalign trays. They’ve done such a good job, that I sadly probably won’t see them again once I’m done with treatment. If you’re looking for a fantastic orthodontist, look no further."
"Been with Farina Orthodontics for a few years, and they are great! Every appointment is fast and comfortable, and they are very good at what they do! Would definitely recommend going to Farina Orthodontics for treatments such as Invisalign."
"Everything gets explained well and you feel involved and in the know throughout the whole process. Had braces growing up, didn’t wear retainers through college, and Invisalign through Farina has been doing a great job at getting my smile back to where I wanted!"
"Dr. Farina is phenomenal. I started my Invisalign journey a few years back, well I decided to return and complete my treatment with clear braces. I flew in from Texas just to see Dr. Farina. I would not have it any other way. Dr and his staff are truly amazing. They explain the entire process from start to finish. Best work ever. Extremely satisfied. Highly recommended. I truly love these guys!!!!! Thank you."
"I had braces when I was younger over 20 years ago and I was dreading the orthodontic process again to re straighten my teeth. WOW, was I blown away. Not only was the entire staff friendly and accommodating, the technology and options available are second to none. Dr. Farina takes the time to thoroughly explain your treatment plan and is truly an expert at what he does. I look forward to my new smile and I know that it will be flawless thanks to the team at Farina! Photo is Day 1 of Invisalign - you can't even tell I have it in!"
"Had braces decades ago and my teeth had moved pretty bad. Went to Farina based on my recommendation from my Dentist and I couldn't be happier. Selected their invisalign plan and they were flexible in making it affordable and the results are amazing. Very appreciative."
"Terrific service and experience. I started and completed my Invisalign treatment during the pandemic and was pretty nervous. The staff was efficient and displayed excellent communication of all policies and procedures. Dr. Farina and staff were always friendly, mindful of my time and would answer any little question I had. My only regret is not doing this sooner. I can’t believe how easy they made the experience."
"20 years ago I wore braces for 2 1/2 years my teeth were works of art shining across the land during my Army and Acting career and then tragedy struck as I didn’t wear my retainer....for 10 years....Dr. Farina and his staff are like the Special Forces of Teeth Straightening, they basically parachuted into enemy territory as I whined and complained about having to wear Invisalign and reassured me it would be super easy.I thought it would be an expensive nightmare, but I was wrong THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!They have zero interest program. I had acting friends that spent money on those “Instagram” teeth aligners and ended up needing oral surgery or get re-repaired by professionals.If you want to have the smile of your life come to the 2nd happiest place on earth where they treat you like royalty with crowns and all! (Dentist joke)"
"My experience at Farina Ortho has been amazing so far. I've had Invisalign for 7 months now and my results are already incredible. I had a cross bite which I think usually requires surgery to fix. Dr. Farina was able to fix it with elastics and no surgery. The office is top class, everyone is friendly helpful and extremely professional. All of the equipment is brand new and the place is really clean. I 100% recommend going in if you've ever thought about straightening your teeth."
"I started invisalign 12 weeks ago with Dr. Farina. The staff and Dr. Farina are all really great!"
"The staff is very nice. The quality is amazing. We’ve sent all of our kids here. State of the art equipment and office. Great atmosphere for all. They know what they are doing. My husband even got Invisalign and he is a dentist. He refers his patients and friends to Farina for there excellent treatment plans. It is truly amazing."
"Great place went here both for braces when I was a kid and invisalign as an adult. Dr. Farina is really friendly and helpful and they seem to always have the lastest orthodontic technology to use."
"I can’t wait to start treatment here because I know Farina Orthodontics is the best in town! I plan to get Invisalign treatment which is an easy process. They use a 3D scanner which is great because you don’t have to deal with the gooey stuff for impressions! I will recommend this place to all my family and friends!"
"So far my experience has been great. I was very confident and happy in my decision choosing Farina Orthodontics for my Invisalign treatment. Everyone has been very helpful and has answered my questions which made me feel comfortable in this entire process. Getting started was quick and easy and I was comfortable with the price. Further appointments are easy to schedule and are quick."
"Extremely modern and pristine for appearances, but the equipment and care is absolutely first rate and up to the latest standards. The staff is friendly and efficient without being hurried. They seem to work well as a team.When I saw Dr. Farina, it was no different. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. I had a great visit, and am looking forward to the eventual results when my Invisalign course is completed. Thank you!"
"This was the best ortho visit Ive had everyone was so attentive and made sure they explained everything to me Dr.Farina sat down and recommended everything I needed for Invisalign I will be back"
"I cannot possibly say enough kind words to convey how I feel about Dr. Farina. He is professional and thorough but beyond that he is quick with a kind word, always calls me by my name, and seems genuinely interested in me as a person. I am a 60 year old man who is wearing Dr. Farina's in house version of Invisalign trays and they are working magnificently. If you are looking for an orthodontist you can stop looking now and go see Dr. Farina. You will not be sorry."
"Professional and friendly staff! I'm looking forward to starting my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Farina."
"I have been so self conscious about my smile for years and after going through a bad situation in my life I thought it’s time to put the past behind you and get your smile fixed. I went into Dr. Farina office on Swann Ave yesterday and everyone was so nice to me and they all made me feel wonderful. I have to get some work done on my teeth before I can get my Invisalign but I walked out of the office knowing that they are going to take good care of me. I’m so excited to start my new journey with Dr. Farina and his wonderful staff. They really took me from being very very self conscious to having high hopes. I’m truly grateful . So excited to get Invisalign 😀 Rebecca Owens"
"Initial Visit made me feel comfortable with the Invisalign process and with Dr. Farina. Office is incredibly organized and on time! Looking forward to getting started!"
"I went to Farina Ortrhodontics because they had amazing reviews on Google. I also wanted to be sure I was getting the best opinions and information to decide whether to get Invisalign or not. They did not disappoint, and I plan on starting treatment soon. Melody, Dr. Farina and the young lady that did my scans were all super nice. They clearly take what they do seriously and invest in technology that can improve their service.Was impressed and would recommend to a friend/colleague. Only knocking off a half a star because I was waiting 15-20 minutes before I was taken in the back for scans."
"Both Dr. Farina and Dr. Rudy are very attentive and personable. Their staff are wonderful as well! My treatment was with Invisalign. After each round of trays, they looked to ensure I was on the right track until I was finished (8 months). I'm so happy I chose them for orthodontic treatment. I'd use them again in a heartbeat."
"Finished with my invisalign in exactly one year! I had major TMJ issues and Dr Farina totally fixed me. Every part of this journey couldn't have been more perfect. I would highly recommend him and his amazing team to anyone who needs braces for teeth straightening or other more complicated issues like mine. I'm glad to be done with my braces, but I sure will miss Dr Farina and the girls. 5 stars and a big smile for Farina Orthodontics!!!!"
"Farina Orthodontics is an excellent orthodontics practice. Everyone on staff is friendly and all seem to really enjoy working there. I have had Invisalign and both of my children have had orthodontia done at Farina. The results are excellent for all of use."
"I was 12 when I started my FIRST complicated, orthodontic treatment due to crowding & an overbite. After 2 years of wearing the traditional, unsightly, uncomfortable, orthodontic wires & brackets & a night time head gear, the results were impressive for awhile. However, my teeth began to shift & were no longer straight. After 50+ years, I decided to have my complex orthodontic issues addressed AGAIN. This time, the evolution of orthodontics enabled me to opt for an Invisalign® treatment, which utilized custom aligners. Over the course of a year, my teeth gently & gradually shifted into proper place. My teeth-straightening process ended w/high tech x-rays that encircled my head & took cutting edge pictures of my teeth & mouth. To preserve the exceptional results of my once again straight teeth, retention treatment consists of a removable upper retainer & a discreet, fixed lower retainer. I am grateful for the evolution of orthodontics for many reasons! One, I removed the clear trays when I wanted. Two, there were NO food restrictions. I ate whatever foods I enjoyed. Three, I enjoyed virtually invisible teeth-straightening. Four, I brushed & flossed my teeth normally & maintained healthy periodontal tissue. Five, the evolution of orthodontics allowed for treatment while traveling. When I advised the office I was traveling, they provided me w/extra trays... during the course of my Invisalign® treatment, I traveled 17K miles through 15 states. Finally, my smile w/STRAIGHT, ALIGNED teeth increased my face value, my positive self-image, & my confidence. I once again have that 'million dollar' smile. In summary, I am extremely pleased & wholeheartedly want to express my appreciation...THANK YOU Dr. Farina & kudos to your office staff @ the Amberly office. I can honestly say w/conviction, my state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment was much more effective & enjoyable than the previous rudimentary regimen!"
"Dr. Farina helped create beautiful smiles for both of my children. He truly delivered on the plan we initially spoke about at consultation. He had faith that both of my teens could handle Invisalign and he was right! We are so happy the results. His entire team is a joy to speak to. I don't know how he does it but his staff is happy and they clearly think very highly of him and Dr. Rudy."
"I love the professional and caring atmosphereIt was a blessing to find Dr Farina .Realizing how badly my teeth needed attention at first I was depressed and hating the idea of bracesespecially at my age ! Well all of that changed the moment I met Dr Farina and his fabulous and reassuring teamI am almost done with my Invisalign treatment and am happy to say I couldn't be happier or have made a better choice😊"
"Dr. Farina and staff have demonstrated excellent work and superb customer service. I am very happy to have chosen Dr. Farina as my invisalign provider."
"Dr Farina and Dr Rudy are class acts. I know that both of my children are in such great care. My daughter just finished her braces in record time because of these two amazing doctors. My son is currently doing Invisalign teen. It was a great option for a 17 year old boy. In just one short year, He too will have an amazing smile. The entire staff is fabulous. Always very warm and welcoming. Definitely the best orthodontist in Tampa."
"I am in the process of getting started with invisalign. I am so impressed with Dr. Farina and his office. They are very patient with my needs. As well as they are kind, courteous and professional!"
"I had the best experience with Dr.Farina and the whole team at the Swann office. With this being my second time having braces, invisalign the first time, I was very hesitant about the process and the results. Dr.Farina explained to me exactly what we were going to do and gave me a sense of ease about the whole process. When I became pregnant during my treatment, they were very accommodating and worked with me and my schedule. After 11 months, I had the beautiful smile I always wanted (and a beautiful son to smile at). Thank you Dr.Farina!"
"We are so pleased with Dr. Farina. He advised us to get Invisalign because he was concerned about cementing our daughter's teeth because of asthma medication making them weak."
"Best orthodontist in Tampa area! The Invisalign treatment was the best option for me as an adult. Dr. Farina uses the latest technology to ensure best results on any of his treatments and his staff is very friendly and accommodating."
"I wouldn't trust my teeth with anyone else! My entire experience at Farina Orthodontics has been easy. The South Tampa office is gorgeous and conveniently located, I never have to wait more than a couple of minutes for my appointment, and the doctors and staff are all smiles and very professional. I can honestly say that the Invisalign is quickly becoming the best thing I have ever done for myself. My teeth are changing so quickly and painlessly. I can't wait to see the final results!"
"I just started my journey with Invisalign and went for a consultation to Farina office from a referral of a friend of mine. I felt welcomed right away. The whole staff is confident and polite. I had gone to 4other consultations before at different offices throughout Tampa, and Farinas office is he only place that didn't want me to extract any teeth before I start my trays. They applied a small bar to shifts 4 teeth to fit in my canine. They discussed with me how shifting my teeth to incorporate my other ones would drastically change my side profile and give me a bigger smile. No other Orthodontist consultation even considered that. I went in for my first appointment and immediately felt welcomed by there whole staff. I was a little nervous and they answered all my questions before hand with confidence making me feel reassured. Procedure was quick easy and painless. :) I am enjoying my journey with them. Super glad I met them."
"Dr. Farina and his staff are excellent. He was able to correct my teeth with Invisalign, where many others did not think it was possible even with conventional braces. He is so friendly and positive and the staff is always accommodating and helpful. I tell all of my friends about him. He really is the best there is in Tampa Bay. I love my smile now!"
