Selecting the right orthodontist and beginning your journey to a healthier, more confident smile can be both exciting and daunting. At Farina Orthodontic Specialists, we aim to make your first visit as comfortable and informative as possible. Here’s a detailed overview of what you can expect during your initial consultation at our Tampa office.
Warm Welcome & Introduction
From the moment you step into our office, you will be greeted by our friendly and professional team. We strive to create a welcoming atmosphere, ensuring that you feel comfortable and at ease. You will have the opportunity to meet our experienced orthodontists and staff, who are dedicated to providing top-notch care and personalized attention.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Your first visit begins with a thorough review of your medical and dental history. This information helps us understand any underlying conditions or previous treatments that may impact your orthodontic care.
At Farina Orthodontic Specialists, we utilize advanced technology to gather precise data about your teeth and jaw structure. Our iTero digital scanning system captures accurate digital impressions without the discomfort of traditional molds. Additionally, we may take digital X-rays and photographs to get a comprehensive view of your oral health.
Our orthodontists will conduct a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and jaw. This assessment allows us to identify any alignment issues, bite problems, or other orthodontic concerns. We’ll also discuss any symptoms you might be experiencing and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Based on the findings from your evaluation, our orthodontists will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. We offer a variety of treatment options, including:
- Invisalign: Clear, removable aligners for a virtually invisible way to straighten teeth.
- Braces: Traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and Damon System braces for effective and reliable results.
We will explain the recommended treatment options in detail, highlighting the benefits and expected outcomes of each. Our goal is to ensure you fully understand your options so you can make an informed decision about your care.
We’ll also provide an estimated timeline for your treatment, outlining what you can expect at each stage. This includes the frequency of follow-up visits, the duration of treatment, and any lifestyle adjustments you might need to make.
Financial Options & Planning
At Farina Orthodontic Specialists, we believe in transparency when it comes to financial planning. During your first visit, we will provide a detailed cost estimate for your treatment. This includes all associated fees, so you know exactly what to expect.
We accept various insurance plans and will help you navigate the process to maximize your benefits. Additionally, we offer flexible payment plans to make orthodontic care accessible and affordable for everyone. Our financial coordinator will work with you to find a payment option that fits your budget.
Next Steps

Once you’ve reviewed your treatment plan and financial options, we will help you schedule your next appointment to begin your orthodontic journey. For added convenience, we offer same-day starts, allowing you to begin treatment on the day of your initial consultation if you’re ready.
