"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. I’m doing Invisalign line this time around and everything was explained clearly and patiently. This is not my first time with braces but hopefully my last. Looking forward to working with you. Thank you to Dr. Farina and staff."
"Experience has been wonderful so far! Dr Franco and the team were super helpful explaining the Invisalign process. Got my Invisalign on today and that was a very simple appointment (faster than expected). The new technology is impressive compared to when I had braces back in high school."

"I’ve been at Farina Orthodontics for 6 years and just recently got my braces taken off. I’ve had a great experience with them and how welcoming and nice everyone is. Wish i could redo my experience just to come here more."
"When I first visited the orthodontist, I was nervous about getting braces. However, the orthodontist and their team were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They took the time to explain the entire process to me, answered all of my questions, and addressed any concerns I had. Throughout my treatment, they made sure I was comfortable and informed every step of the way. Thanks to their expertise and care, I ended up with a beautiful smile that I'm proud of."
"We had a wonderful experience here as my daughter had gotten her braces 6 months ago and just last month she got her braces taken off and she was excited. The staff were just amazing and so nice with her. Just great customer service overall I must say. Will be coming back for our phase 2 ☺️"
"Today is very big for me because I am getting my braces off😁My experience with Dr.Farina and his team has been wonderful. They are so welcoming and friendly. His establishment is very clean and smells great, but most importantly my teeth looks VERY BEAUTIFUL and SMOOTH with the help of Dr.Farina and his team. I cried of HAPPY TEARS because I came a long way, so if you thinking about coming to Dr.Farina please don't hesitate because you will not be disappointed and plus he's correcting my child teeth as well.THANK YOU, DR.FARINA ❤️❤️"
"First class, top-notch service and staff. The office is beautiful and very clean. Melanie as FANTASTIC and explained everything and answered all our questions. Gracie was amazing with my son. Dr. Farina was so kind and friendly with patients and parents. We are very impressed with our choice for our first child with braces!"
"I just completed phase 1 of my braces and had them taken off today. My teeth look great. Dr Farina is such a great orthodontist and the staff is so kind and friendly.-Zoey"
"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!"
"Got my braces off today. This place is amazing! The staff is wonderful. Love my smile."
"They were able to take me on as a transfer for braces when no one else would. I also love the use of tech ex virtual consultants would definitely recommend"
"I started braces at 49 and the time went so quickly. At times I thought I was nuts getting braces mid-life, but I am so happy I did. I finally have”that” smile that I have always wanted-with the increased confidence that comes with a straight, symmetrical smile. . Do it! The time goes by quickly and lasts a lifetime.The staff and Dr. Farina is caring, patient and attentive. The offices have a positive, forward thinking vibe. He paid extra attention to get my bite correct which is very important to feel comfortable and natural. Great experience. Go for it! :)"
"This is my first time ever wearing braces & let me tell you my first in person experience with Farina Orthodontic so far has been amazing! From the moment you walk in the door you feel welcomed, the young ladies at the front desk greet you immediately & with beautiful smiles! Dr.Farina himself is amazing! He makes sure to be hands on & interact with every patient! They will accommodate you financially with payment plans & the process is quick & easy! Also look at this cute little message they sent in the mail for me!"
"Farina Orthodontist is the most awesome place! They have been great since day one, always very attentive and very personal like your family. The overall experience is the best. The doctor and the staff are always willing to answer any questions you may have and always willing to help my daughter with helping keep her braces clean and in tact. Can’t wait to see the end results :)"
"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."
"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 and his entire staff are all so professional, welcoming, and every appointment we go to we are in and out. Hardly any wait time! My son actually likes coming to his appointments for his braces because he enjoys the staff so much. I will always recommend them!"
"Dr Farina and staff are amazing! The office is always clean and everyone is friendly, it made my adult braces journey enjoyable. They were very patient with me and ensured that I got my perfect smile!"
"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."
"Farina orthodontics has been great with our son. Dr. Farina has been there to watch our son grow and change over the two years he has had braces and is so supportive, not only with the braces but also being a doctor that cares about each patient as a person. Dr Farina always takes time with his patients and families. The assistants are very understanding and caring and are always ready to answer questions. I highly recommend Farina."
"Dr. Farina and staff are the epitome of greatness. They have always taken such great care of our families needs. He helped my girls with their braces a..."
"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!"
"They are fantastic! All 4 of my kids were/are patients and had braces from Dr Farina! Now it’s my turn! Im 51! But figured that now is a great time since I wear a mask all day at work anyway! Now when the masks finally come off- my teeth will be perfect!!! The staff is wonderful and Dr. Farina is awesome! They are all like family."
"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)"
"I got braces with Farina when I was a kid, I’m 26 now and still wear the same Retainer I was given when I was little! He did a wonderful job"
"Very accommodating and kind office staff. All of the doctors are amazing as well. I’ll be a little sad when my braces come off in a few months."
"The atmosphere is positive and people are passionate about their job. They helped fix my teeth from my previous mistakes. The orthodontist I originally went removed my braces when I still had an overbite and crooked teeth. Farina didn’t want to remove my braces until my teeth were perfect. I really appreciated how much they cared for my smile. Great place and amazing people :)"
"Great place! Very professional and accommodating. Braces are definitely their profession. They are great with both my kids. Would highly recommend them."
"We have had a great experience so far at Farina Orthodontics. Just had braces put on today and everything to date has run very smoothly. Dr. Farina was wonderful and so were the staff. Very friendly and professional. Looking forward to our next visit!"
"The most wonderful dental experience for my daughter. You can truly tell that Dr. Farina cares for his patients, especially the kids. The entire staff was kind, welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable. I could not imagine the consult, financials, and placement of the braces going any smoother than it did here. Dr. Farina told my daughter several times she was amazing, she was doing great, she looked great, and that he loved her braces. He built her up the entire visit- and for her that is so important to feel safe and cared for by her dentist. If I could give 10 stars, I would. ♥️"
"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!!!!"
"Dr. Farina and all of his staff and very professional and know how to properly treat their patients in a great manner that tends to each and everyone of the patients needs. I would highly recommend to anyone that is looking to get braces to come and have a sit down with Dr. Farina. His door is always open."
"I needed braces and I went here because of the already high reviews. Dr. Farina was so nice and very helpful. He also didn't quote me an insane amount for them and I was even able to pick my own down payment which is something I want able to do with a different orthodontist. His staff was very nice as well. And he made me feel better about my teeth. I highly recommend!"
"Started with Invisalign braces in July 2017. As an adult in my 40's who had traditional braces in my teens, this was the best experience from start to fin..."
"All I can say is from the moment you walk through the door is that everyone is amazing. I was very pleased and my daughter even call her friends and said that this was the best orthodontist office. Everyone is so polite and respectful. I highly recommend them to everyone. Same day braces and they work with you financial as well. Melonie thank you for being so kind to me and my daughter and making the financial part less stressful. Dr. Wagner is super kid friendly!"
"Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Looking forward to braces next."
"Was at the office yesterday and they are so carful with my mouth whem fixing my braces and anything else they need to do."
"Dr Farina and his entire staff are amazing. I have been going to Farina Orthotics for almost 20 years...lifelong patient...lol. We feel like we are around family when we are there. Mark and staff are doing my daughters braces now. Veronica, Cathy and entire staff are amazing. Would highly recommend Farina Orthotics to any of my friend and family. Thanks for eveyrhing..oh...and thanks for the smiles :)Christian Clouse"
"I love Dr. Farina! It was always a joy going to all of my check-ups beginning with phase one of my braces all the way to phase two of my braces and every once in a while retainer check-ups. He cares so much about his patients and is very precise in his work. His team is fabulous and very helpful and friendly as well. I would recommend him to any of my friends or family in need of Orthodontic work."
"The staff is great. I am so glad that I chose Farina Orthodontics to take care of my teeth. I am extremely happy and I love going to check my braces."
"Message from my 10 year old daughter daughter - Dr. Farina and his team rock! My brother and best friend also got their teeth fixed by Dr. Farina. It didn't hurt at all when he put on the braces for me today. Thank you Dr. Farina!!Dr. Farina also treated me. He immediately figured out the root cause of my issues and developed a treatment plan for me. Along with the aesthetics,, my bite was off which was causing loss of enamel. Within a year, he turned things around and all through the journey, he kept be informed on the progress, humored me and engaged me in interesting conversations.He and his staff is quite remarkable and I would whole hearted recommend any of my family and friends to be treated by Dr. Farina and team!Thanks for everything, Doc!!"
"My visits to Farina for my braces were always easy going and comfortable. Dr. Farina, Dr. Rudy, and the whole staff were so nice and always happy to see me at my apppointments, which really eliminated my fear of the dentist. I appreciate the care they put into my smile and love to see how their practice has grown over the years. Thanks Farina! :)"
"I cannot say enough good things about Dr Farina and his entire staff. My son had braces and recently completed the treatment.Every visit was a great experience starting with a friendly and welcoming front desk staff to Dr Farina himself who manage to connect with both parents and kids.I can strongly recommend Dr Farina and would choose his clinic again, would the need arise."
"I have been seeing Dr. Farina for over 18 years. My orthodontic journey involved everything from braces to jaw surgery, and he has been by my side every step of the way. The results have been truly amazing. I have always had the utmost respect for Dr. Farina and his staff. They are extremely knowledgeable and caring about their patients. It is thanks to Dr. Farina that I wear a beautiful smile on my face everyday. I can't thank him enough and would strongly recommend him to all my peers."
"Everything is treated as a big celebration! From the first day of treatment thru the day the braces come off. Such a warm, caring environment."
"Great place. Great staff. Great Doctor. I first had braces at 13 with Dr. Farina, I came back at the at the age of 31 to get braces on my lower teeth because when my wisdom teeth came out, they shifted my bottom front teeth. I couldn't think of anyone to go to but Dr. Farina. Also, he gave my wife the perfect smile too."
"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!"
"I have brought all three of my children to Dr. Farina and it's finally my turn from braces and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. You couldn't find for a better Orthodontist, facility and staff!!!"
"Our initial appointment was fast and efficient. Consultation and paperwork were easy, got her braces on that same morning. Whole process was 2 hours for everything."
"I finally decided 4 years after my initial consult to move forward with braces for myself. Two of my boys are already patients of Dr. Farina and I've watched their mouths transform over the years. Dr. Farina as well everyone that works in the office are caring, sweet, and go out of their way to make sure everyone is comfortable and has what they need.I highly recommend Dr. Farina for your orthodontic needs."
"Dr. Farina & his staff are awesome! My teen daughter has beautiful straight teeth after just 3 short years. My 10 year old is in braces now and the progress is amazing! The end of the school year party at Extreme Adventure was so much fun! Thank you Dr. Farina"
"Dr. Farina is an amazing guy. He really made my daughter feel comfortable in getting her braces when she was really not interested. He also never forgets my son who goes to all the appointments with her. I love that he is always upbeat and smiling. We also really like his new Dr., Dr. Rudy Wagner. My kids loved the patient appreciation party! We go to the Tampa Palms office."
"Always Awesome! Deft recommended this place if you are looking to get braces."
"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!"
"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."
"I was told at my appointment yesterday that my next appointment will be the day Dr. Farina takes my braces off! I actually got misty eyed at the thought of saying goodbye to all these wonderful people who I have had the pleasure of being in contact with all these months.I do look forward to my new smile though and already see a huge difference in my bite and look! Thank you Dr. Farina and the whole staff!"
"My daughter got her braces off today and we are THRILLED with the results. Dr. Farina has been wonderful and his staff is great! We could not have been happier with the service we have received over the years. Thank you Dr. Farina."
"" 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"
"" We have been overwhelmingly thrilled with the service and care that has been given to our son! His teeth look amazing and we have only two-three months left before his braces come off. The staff at Dr. Farina's office is wonderful and I have never been in the office when they were not smiling and did not offer us something to drink while we waited. At each visit Dr. Farina would keep us updated on the progress which was so nice. We are blessed that we found such a caring team to take care of our sons' smile! Thank you again and we will certainly refer to you everyone we meet!"
"Dr Farina and his staff are awesome. First I have to say that everyone is very friendly and professional. They made me feel very comfortable. I just got braces for the first time and surprisley it did not even hurt. It was fast and painless and I even got to take home some useful goodies. Thank Dr Farina and staff for a great experience..."
