Dr. Greenberg's Clinical Philosophy
Dr. Greenberg's clinical style is conservative, evidence-first, and anchored in a full-mouth view of the patient. With more than eight years of general-dentistry experience prior to his orthodontic residency at Jacksonville University, he plans every case around long-term dental health — not just alignment — and places roughly three in four pediatric referrals on growth-observation recall rather than starting treatment immediately. The restorative eye stays at the chair: cavity risk, wear patterns, periodontal health, and occlusal stability are reviewed before any orthodontic plan is finalized.
What Makes This Practice Different
Bold Bite is owned and operated by two orthodontists, a husband-and-wife team who personally treat every patient with no rotating associates. Because the doctors are also the owners, their recommendation is never influenced by cost: the practice charges the same fee whether a patient chooses braces or Angel Aligners, so the recommendation reflects what is genuinely best for each individual case. Every consultation also includes airway screening, which most practices do not offer as a standard part of the initial visit.
A Clinical Decision Shaped by Training
Dr. Greenberg's research fellowship under Dr. Peter Buschang at Jacksonville University focused on craniofacial growth, and that training shapes how Bold Bite evaluates growing patients. Where another orthodontist might focus solely on tooth alignment, Dr. Greenberg reads how the jaws and face are developing and how the airway fits into that picture, which sometimes leads to a recommendation for expansion or early intervention rather than a wait-and-see approach. Forces are also staged conservatively, especially in adults, to protect the roots and the bone supporting the teeth.
When Treatment Is Not Recommended
Bold Bite recommends against starting orthodontic treatment when a patient is not mentally ready, when oral hygiene is inadequate, or when the patient has not had a dental checkup and cleaning in over a year. The practice also holds off when starting treatment is not in the patient's best interest at that moment, such as when additional growth is needed first or when ENT, airway, or TMJ concerns should be addressed before moving teeth.
On Pricing
Bold Bite's fee reflects what is included in the case, not just the appliance. Every case is personally managed by two residency-trained orthodontists and includes CBCT 3D imaging with airway screening, Grin Scope remote monitoring, and any functional appliances and retainers printed in-house, with no surprise add-on charges. The practice publishes its pricing and provides the exact fee in writing at the consultation. Because Angel Aligners use an orthodontist-only distribution model, the practice can price aligner treatment lower than Invisalign and pass that savings along directly to patients.
Treatments Offered That Others Don't
Several Bold Bite services are difficult or impossible to find at typical Jacksonville orthodontic offices. Airway screening using CBCT with AI analysis is built into every consultation. The practice offers MARPE, a miniscrew-assisted palatal expander that widens the upper jaw in adults without surgery. Adult snoring and mild airway issues are addressed with a DynaFlex mandibular advancement device. And Angel Aligners, an orthodontist-only clear-aligner system most local practices do not carry, are available as the practice's primary aligner platform.

Every first visit at Bold Bite Orthodontics is complimentary and unhurried.
