It’s Never Too Late For Braces!
Maybe you never had braces, but always wanted your smile to be straighter. Maybe you had braces as a teen, but your teeth have moved, or you’ve noticed pain or bite issues over the years. The good news is adult braces are easier and more comfortable than they ever were, and today’s convenient options, such as virtual appointments and removable braces, allow you to straighten your smile without disrupting your life.
Who Should Get Braces?
Braces are for anyone who would like to straighten teeth for a more beautiful, confident smile. Braces are also for correcting orthodontic issues such as bite misalignment and overcrowding, which can lead to difficulty chewing and breathing. Issues such as chronic jaw pain, TMJ, earaches, and bone erosion can also be improved with braces. Whether for pure cosmetics or to enhance health and well-being, the best way to know if you should get braces is to contact Farina Orthodontic Specialists for a free consultation.
Are There Different Types of Braces?
There are multiple types of braces, and depending on your needs, one type may work better for you than another. You can discuss with your orthodontist what your expectations are and decide together what kind of braces will best suit your lifestyle. Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to apply pressure to the teeth and jaw, moving them into their proper position. This type of braces requires occasional visits to the orthodontist to tighten the wires and keep treatment moving along at a good pace. A similar but less noticeable option is clear braces. Instead of metal, clear braces use ceramic brackets that mimic the color of your teeth. Clear braces are just as effective as traditional braces, but are usually a better option for adults to make their braces blend in with their teeth.
Self-ligating braces use a specialized type of bracket that continually maintains pressure on the wire and teeth so it does not require manual tightening by the orthodontist. Self-ligating braces tend to be a more hygienic alternative to traditional braces, and they are a bit more comfortable to wear as well.

Special thank you to the nice lady in scheduling for your compassion, I had to change this appointment a couple times and was never made to feel uncomfortable. Again, thank you Dr. Davis and staff, you Rock!
It was an amazing experience with Farina Ortho! Start to finish! Our Dentist recommended my son (10) to proceed with braces and we were terrified but they made it clear in every step! From insurance and coverage to a treatment plan! Marlene was amazing! She made it super easy for me-Mom to understand the process, and especially what to expect!! We had the braces put on today actually and it all went so smooth that even my son who was super terrified with this whole idea for next 12-18 months told me that he kind of liked it and looked cool! This could not be better! Clean clinic, professional stuff just well rounded care! Thank you!
I highly recommend Farina for installing your braces. They are very kind and considerate on how you’re feeling and if you have any discomfort. I am very happy with my final results since I did get my braces off today!! A rubber band a day keeps the teeth shifting away!
Our experience with this orthodontist was truly exceptional! The free online consultation was incredibly easy and saved us a lot of time. We scanned and submitted images of my child’s teeth from home, and then had a phone consultation with the doctor to review the treatment plan ,all before even stepping into the office.I downloaded the Smile Doctors app, which made communication with the team seamless. When we arrived for the in-person appointment, everyone was so kind, professional, and efficient. I was amazed by how smoothly everything went.Elizabeth was especially patient and accommodating with my child, who was a bit nervous. Dr. Franco was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything, and Dr. Farina was warm and welcoming. We were even able to get my child’s top braces placed the same day!To make the experience even more special, they provided my child with some gifts and congratulated her on getting her braces, it really helped her feel proud and excited about the process.I highly recommend this team, especially for busy parents. Their at-home scanner and the Smile Doctors app make everything so convenient and modern. Truly a 5-star experience!
My daughter just got her braces off at Farina Orthodontics in Wesley Chapel, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with her new smile!

The transformation in her smile is amazing, and it has truly boosted her confidence.Thank you to the whole team at Farina Wesley Chapel we are so grateful for your professionalism and genuine care!

What Kind of Upkeep Is Needed With Braces?
There are a few lifestyle changes that come with braces, though they should not seriously impact your life. Making sure to incorporate these habits into your routine will ensure that your braces work properly and quickly. The first change is that you should avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods, as these can break and damage your braces.
Another change is that you will need to pay extra attention while brushing your teeth. It is important to keep your teeth clean with braces because the brackets tend to act as magnets for plaque and buildup. Your orthodontist will provide you with a special flosser that can reach all the nooks and crannies of your teeth. Try to floss at least once a day to guarantee that when you get your braces off, you will have a healthy, white smile!
Lastly, if you engage in contact sports, it is important to wear a braces-friendly mouth guard to protect your teeth and your braces from any impact.
How Much Will Braces Treatment Cost Me?
Braces are an investment. They can be costly upfront, but the results last a lifetime and can save you discomfort, time, and money in the long run by preventing orthodontic issues from progressing into health problems. The final cost of your braces will vary depending on what kind of issues need to be addressed and how long treatment will take. To get a more accurate price estimate, you will need to visit your orthodontist for an examination. At Farina Orthodontic Specialists, we never want financial stress to get in the way of your perfect smile, so feel free to ask about any available discounts or payment plans that could be available to you!
