"Dr. Farina and staff are 10/10!! Wading through Invisalign and additional dental work the Farina team remained in constant communication with my extended dental team and my results are insane! I cannot say enough good things about Farina Orthodontics. Special love to the team out at Bruce B. Downs - they handled 90% of my care and made everything simple and efficient!"
"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! :)"

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!"

The entire process was smooth. Dr. Farina made everything easy. He allowed me to have a virtual consultation which I was so grateful for as it saved me a lot of time. He was prompt and is extremely knowledgeable I can firmly say. The environment of the office is really positive. Front desk is also kind and attentive.

At the last visit Dr Farina told me that had my son gone to a different Dr they would not have been able to help my son. It is amazing how much progress he had made. We still have a way to go but his smile is improving so much. Thank you Dr Farina, Thank you Also to all the staff."

"50+ years ago, I desperately needed braces due to crowding & an overbite. The end results were impressive; however over the years, my teeth began to move. I wanted a straighter smile & my orthodontic issues addressed.The evolution of orthodontics is remarkable. I was told Invisalign® can address many of those issues w/exceptional results w/o the discomfort or embarrassment of traditional orthodontic braces. I was delighted to learn I would NOT be getting unsightly, uncomfortable wires & brackets but instead discrete, clear aligners. My teeth-straightening process started w/high tech x-rays that encircled my head & state of the art pictures of my teeth & mouth. NO goopy impressions of my teeth were needed. All of that information was used to create a treatment plan w/o the orthodontist ever touching my mouth! I was told I would be given a series of custom aligners that I would change about every two weeks. Over time, my teeth would gently & gradually shift into proper place.My insurance provider does NOT cover braces, but I was offered a 10% discount if I paid the full amount up front. SUH-WHEET!I am grateful for the evolution of orthodontics! One, I can remove the device when I want. Two, there are NO food restrictions. I can eat whatever foods I enjoy. Three, I can enjoy virtually invisible teeth-straightening. Four, I can brush & floss my teeth normally for better periodontal health. Five, there will be NO broken, sharp, metal wires to irritate my cheeks & gums. Finally, I was relieved to know I can travel b/c there will be office visits only every 4-6 weeks. I was advised to let the office know when I was traveling so extra trays could be taken w/me. So the crux of the matter is the evolution of orthodontics will make this round of advanced treatment much more enjoyable than the last round of a very rudimentary regimen.I look forward to working w/the office staff to ensure that once AGAIN I will have that 'million dollar' smile. What I know for sure is that my smile [w/straight teeth] will increase my face value, + self-image, & confidence. And I was reassured that I am NOT the OLDEST patient!"
"Jack Jr. is our fourth child to have braces with Farina Orthodontics. Dr. Farina and his team do an excellent job! Our experience there has been wonderful and we highly recommend them!"
"Always a pleasure to visit Farina Orthodontics!"
"It's always a pleasure to see Dr Farina. I have entrusted his expertise with my oldest son and now I am becoming a patient myself! Dr. Farina is kind, knowledgeable, and current with the latest in orthodontics. He has also worked wonders with a dear friend of ours who had very severe orthodontic issues. Visits are on time, quick, and fun! Even during braces my son looked forward to every visit."
"From the receptionist who scheduled my son's appointment much earlier than expected to Gayle who handled our new patient in-processing in such a friendly and professional manner to Dr. Farina who treated us like family, we are thrilled to be new patients at Farina Orthodontics! Thank you!"
"We are so impressed after our first visit at Farina Orthodontics. Dr Farina immediately had my super nervous 7 year old at ease, and even smiling. The entire staff was extremely friendly from the moment we walked in. We decided to pursue treatment at this office, and I know we made the right choice."
"" I got my braces off today with a temporary retainer. My teeth are so white! I was surprised to get a $25 gift card to Wiregrass Mall from Farina Orthodontics! thank you! " Jessica Hunter"
"I went to Dr. Farina with a problem caused by TMJ surgery . I was unable to fully chew my food because my bite was so bad/off. Dr. Farina explained the entire process and with each visit I saw more and more progress to bring my teeth in alignment. It took a 1-1/2 years but the results are superb. Dr. Farina and his staff do outstanding work and they are so personable....always cheery and have a positive attitude. They are also VERY ACCOMODATING.. on more than one occasion I had to go in for a broken wire, always at the most inopportune time (a Saturday or late Friday). I highly recommend Farina Orthodontics!!"
"Dr. Farina and his staff are friendly and professional. I enjoyed the "cozy" feel of the office as opposed to larger "machine-like" practices. Dr. Farina carefully explained all of the orthodontic options for our son in terms we could understand so that we could make an informed decision about his orthodontic treatment. I especially like that Dr. Farina uses cutting edge technology in his practice. Dr. Farina really took the time to try to get to know our son to make him feel comfortable about orthodontic treatment. We were especially excited to learn that Invisaline Teen is an option! Two separate families recommended Dr. Farina to us, both saying how much they "LOVE Dr. Farina" and how happy they have all been with their new beautiful smiles. I certainly feel we will be recommending Dr. Farina to anyone seeking beautiful teeth!"
