Martin Greenberg
Orthodontist (ABO Board Eligible)
Dr. Greenberg personally designs every Invisalign treatment plan, not a computer-generated sales preview. You review the 3D plan before aligners are fabricated and provide input before treatment starts. 6,000+ completed orthodontic cases.
Trang Cao
Board-Certified Orthodontist
Dr. Cao treats Invisalign patients at Bold Bite Orthodontics alongside Dr. Greenberg. Both doctors review each treatment plan for complex cases.
How Invisalign Works in Jacksonville
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for 1-2 weeks, then swapped for the next set in the sequence. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, you take them out to eat, brush, and floss. Treatment is planned digitally using 3D imaging.
Why Bold Bite Offers Invisalign (and Other Aligner Systems)
Bold Bite Orthodontics opened with Invisalign and then switched to Angel Aligners as the primary clear aligner platform after running a head-to-head comparison: the same records for 20 patients were run through both ClinCheck (Invisalign) and iOrtho (Angel), and the Angel setups were superior every time — more efficient tooth movements, fewer aligner stages per case, and treatment finishing in one-half to one-third the time of the Invisalign plan. Dr. Greenberg and Dr. Cao still prescribe Invisalign when it is the right fit for a specific case, but Angel Aligners is the default recommendation at Bold Bite because it produces the same or better clinical result at a lower fee and on a shorter timeline.
Your Invisalign Treatment Timeline
Free Consultation + 3D CT Scan
Dr. Greenberg personally evaluates your bite, takes a complimentary 3D CT scan, and discusses your treatment options honestly, Invisalign, braces, or a hybrid approach.
Your Personalized 3D Treatment Plan
Dr. Greenberg personally designs your 3D treatment simulation, positioning each tooth to the ideal outcome based on your bite, facial structure, and goals. You review the plan and provide input before aligners are fabricated.
Aligner Fabrication & Delivery
Once you approve the plan, your digital scan is sent to the Invisalign lab. Aligners are manufactured specifically for your teeth. The sequence of trays arrives ready, every movement mapped.
Wear & Switch Every 1-2 Weeks
Wear aligners 20-22 hours per day. Remove only to eat, drink (anything besides water), and brush. Grin Scope (smartphone app) remote monitoring lets Dr. Greenberg track progress between visits, fewer trips to the office.
Final Result + Retainers
Once teeth reach final positions, custom retainers maintain results for life. Vivera retainers are 30% stronger than standard Essix material.
Invisalign vs Angel Aligners vs Braces
All three straighten teeth effectively. The right choice depends on your case, lifestyle, goals, and budget. Dr. Greenberg recommends based on what delivers the best clinical result, not the highest price tag.
Important distinction: Invisalign is the most-recognized brand because it advertises directly to patients and supplies general dentists nationwide. Angel Aligners is the orthodontist-only alternative. Available exclusively through specialists, with extra clinical features (Angel Pro dual-stiffness mode, transparent angelButtons built into the aligner) that general-dentist providers do not access. Patients who specifically prefer the Invisalign brand still receive it at Bold Bite Orthodontics; for everyone else, Angel is the recommended platform.
How Bold Bite Approaches Braces vs Clear Aligners
Bold Bite lets the patient and parent make the final call between braces and clear aligners, presenting both options side by side. The doctors share their clinical reasoning when the case presentation points clearly toward one path: deep bites, impacted teeth, and surgical cases tend to favor braces mechanics, while most other case types work equally well with either modality. When the family wants a direct recommendation, the doctors give one based on the specific clinical picture.

When Braces Replace Aligners at Bold Bite Orthodontics
There are cases where Bold Bite steers patients toward braces rather than aligners. Significant root torque demands, complex vertical control, skeletal discrepancies, deep bites, impacted teeth, and surgical cases are harder to finish predictably with aligners, and the practice evaluates these factors using CBCT imaging and a bite assessment before making a recommendation. A hybrid path starting in braces and finishing in aligners is also a common approach when it serves the case best.
Hybrid treatment at Bold Bite Orthodontics. Dr. Greenberg and Dr. Cao often start a case in clear aligners for the bulk of treatment, then finish in braces for the final precision movements. The patient stays in the esthetic modality for most of the treatment and gets the mechanical control of fixed appliances only at the end. The decision is always case-specific and discussed at the free consultation, not pushed based on which product carries a higher margin.
Invisalign Cost in Jacksonville
Invisalign at Bold Bite Orthodontics starts at $5500 comprehensive, with monthly payments from $149/month. The practice also offers Angel Aligners starting from $4500 as a more affordable clear aligner option with comparable quality. Total treatment cost depends on case complexity. Bold Bite Orthodontics accepts all major PPO dental insurance plans.

Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign treats a wide range of orthodontic issues. During your free consultation, Dr. Greenberg evaluates whether Invisalign, braces, or a hybrid approach is the best path to your ideal result.
Cases Treated with Invisalign
- Crowded teeth. Mild to moderate
- Gaps and spacing between teeth
- Overbite. Mild to moderate
- Underbite. Mild cases
- Crossbite
- Open bite. Mild cases
- General alignment and smile aesthetics
- Post-braces relapse (teeth shifted after earlier treatment)
When Braces May Be Better
Dr. Greenberg may recommend braces upfront when the case involves severe tooth rotation (more than 20 degrees), significant vertical tooth movement (intrusion/extrusion), complex bite correction requiring precise anchorage, young patients who may not comply with 20-22 hours of daily wear, or skeletal discrepancies requiring expanders or functional appliances.
Honesty about the right tool matters more than selling the preferred product.
Invisalign for Adults vs Teens
Adults
Over 60% of Invisalign patients at Bold Bite Orthodontics are adults. Clear aligners are virtually invisible in professional and social settings. Grin Scope (smartphone app) remote monitoring means fewer office visits, ideal for busy schedules.
Invisalign for Adults →Teens
Invisalign Teen includes blue compliance dots that fade with wear so parents (and Dr. Greenberg) can confirm the teen is wearing them enough. Eruption tabs accommodate teeth still growing in. Removable for sports, instruments, and school photos. Grin Scope (smartphone app) remote monitoring tracks progress between visits.
Kids & Teens →How Bold Bite Gauges Teen Compliance Before Invisalign
Aligners work only when they are worn, so Bold Bite is direct with teens and parents from day one: trays need to stay in approximately 22 hours per day and come out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush. The practice monitors wear remotely through Grin Scope between visits, which keeps everyone accountable and allows the doctors to step in early if a patient is falling behind. Teens are reminded that the aligners do the work only while they are in the mouth, not while they sit in the case.
When a Patient Is Not Compliant With Aligners
Because Bold Bite monitors aligner wear through Grin Scope, the practice typically catches non-compliance early, before the teeth fall significantly behind the treatment plan. When that happens, the doctors have a direct conversation with the patient and parent about wear time and what falling behind means for the timeline. If tracking keeps deviating beyond what refinements can correct, the practice recommends switching to braces, which removes the compliance variable from the equation; a $300 switch fee applies in that situation.
Invisalign Refinements
Refinements are additional aligner trays used after your initial series if teeth have not reached the exact final position. They are a normal part of Invisalign treatment, not a sign something went wrong.
How Bold Bite Handles Invisalign Refinements
Angel Aligners includes five years of unlimited refinements, and most Bold Bite patients need two or three refinement rounds. The practice developed a unique attachment-free finishing protocol: all attachments are removed for the final refinement, and detail movements are completed using Angel's full high trimline, which provides enough tooth-surface coverage for small finishing movements without the aesthetic compromise of attachments. Patients experience the final trays as retainers rather than active treatment.
Why Choose Bold Bite Orthodontics for Invisalign in Jacksonville?
Most Invisalign providers in Jacksonville are general dentists. Bold Bite Orthodontics is led by a Orthodontist (ABO Board Eligible) who has completed 6,000+ orthodontic cases and also offers braces and hybrid approaches, so the recommendation is always based on the best clinical outcome, not the only tool available.
Why Mail-Order Aligners Are Not Equivalent
Mail-order aligner kits may look convenient, but orthodontic treatment is more than straightening the front teeth from a home impression. Teeth move through bone, bites can be deepened or opened in ways a remote algorithm cannot see, gum tissue can be stressed, and airway, TMJ, or occlusal findings are routinely missed when no orthodontist is in the room. Every aligner case at Bold Bite is planned on CBCT and intraoral-scan data, supervised in person, and monitored between visits through the Grin Scope app. Bold Bite considers the cost difference between mail-order and in-office treatment not worth the clinical risk.
Orthodontist, Not Just a Dentist
Any dentist can order Invisalign trays. An orthodontist has additional residency training in tooth movement and bite correction. Two board-certified orthodontists collaborate on every complex case. Doctor 1 brings a CODA-accredited orthodontic specialty residency at Jacksonville University School of Orthodontics; Doctor 2 brings a CODA-accredited orthodontic specialty residency at Jacksonville University School of Orthodontics. Bold Bite handles complex cases and unexpected issues with specialized expertise from both doctors.
Doctor Designs Every Plan
Dr. Greenberg personally reviews and adjusts every 3D treatment simulation. Not a technician. Not a software default. Each tooth is positioned to match your specific bite, facial balance, and smile goals.
Free 3D CT Scan
Vatech Green CT CBCT at every consultation, teeth, jaws, and airway in under 30 seconds. Other offices charge $200-$500 for this. Bold Bite includes it at no cost.
Grin Scope (smartphone app) Remote Monitoring
Scan your teeth from home between office visits. Dr. Greenberg monitors progress remotely, catching tracking issues early without extra appointments.
Angel Aligners as Alternative
If Invisalign is not the right fit for your budget, Angel Aligners offer comparable quality from $4500. Same clinical precision. Orthodontist-only distribution means lower lab costs.
Two-Orthodontist Team
Bold Bite Orthodontics is led by Dr. Greenberg and Dr. Cao, both residency-trained orthodontists who review complex aligner plans together. Patients receive two sets of clinical eyes on every setup, not one doctor rushing between chairs.
ABO Board-Certified Diplomate
Board certification by the American Board of Orthodontics is a voluntary credential held by fewer than half of practicing orthodontists. It signals that a doctor has submitted finished cases for review by a panel of peers and demonstrated measurable clinical excellence. Dr. Cao holds this designation.
Whole-Mouth Perspective
Dr. Greenberg practiced general dentistry for 8-plus years before specializing in orthodontics. Every aligner plan at Bold Bite Orthodontics is evaluated for hygiene risk, periodontal stability, and restorative implications, not just tooth position.
English & Vietnamese Spoken
Dr. Cao is fluent in Vietnamese, a rare combination among Jacksonville-area orthodontists. Families who prefer consultations in Vietnamese can schedule directly with Dr. Cao.
Private Practice Standard
Not a DSO chain. Doctor-owned. You see the same orthodontist every visit, same judgment, same standards, from consultation to retainers.

Bold Bite took the time to explain the aligner option and the braces option side by side. The consult never felt like a sales pitch. Dr. Greenberg was upfront that aligners would work for the case and finished on schedule.— Verified Google review, Jacksonville
Dr. Cao was patient, thorough, and explained exactly what the aligners would do and why. The office runs on time, the scans are fast, and the remote-monitoring app kept us from making extra trips.— Verified Google review, parent of a teen aligner patient
Chose Bold Bite after consulting with two other Jacksonville offices. The difference was the clarity — Bold Bite showed the 3D treatment plan, explained each stage, and was honest that a quicker option existed at a different office but would produce a less precise finish.— Verified Google review, adult aligner patient
Invisalign FAQ in Jacksonville
How much does Invisalign cost in Jacksonville?
Invisalign at Bold Bite Orthodontics starts at $5500 with monthly payments from $149/month. Total treatment cost depends on case complexity. The practice also offers Angel Aligners starting from $4500 as a more affordable alternative. Bold Bite Orthodontics accepts all major PPO dental insurance plans. Visit the cost page for a detailed breakdown.
How long does Invisalign take?
Most Invisalign cases take 6-18 months. Simple alignment cases can finish in as few as 6 months, while complex bite corrections may take 12-18 months. Dr. Greenberg provides an accurate timeline during your consultation.
Is Invisalign worth it compared to braces?
Invisalign is ideal for mild to moderate cases, offering removability, near-invisibility, and easier oral hygiene. Braces are typically better for complex cases involving significant bite correction, tooth rotation, or vertical movement. Dr. Greenberg recommends the option that delivers the best clinical result. Not the most expensive one.
Should I get Invisalign from a dentist or orthodontist?
An orthodontist completes additional residency training beyond dental school, specializing exclusively in tooth movement, bite correction, and facial development.
Any dentist can order Invisalign trays, but orthodontists have specialized training to diagnose underlying bite issues, plan complex tooth movements, and manage treatment when it does not go as expected. Two board-certified orthodontists collaborate on every complex case. Doctor 1 brings a CODA-accredited orthodontic specialty residency at Jacksonville University School of Orthodontics; Doctor 2 brings a CODA-accredited orthodontic specialty residency at Jacksonville University School of Orthodontics.
Can teenagers get Invisalign?
Yes. Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for adolescents, with compliance indicators that show wear time and eruption tabs to accommodate growing teeth. Best for teens who are responsible about wearing aligners 20-22 hours per day. For teens who may struggle with compliance, braces may be a more reliable option.
What happens if I lose an aligner tray?
Call immediately. In most cases, the patient wears the previous tray until a replacement arrives (1-2 weeks). Losing trays can delay treatment by the time it takes to receive replacements. Keep aligners in their case when not worn, never wrap them in a napkin (easiest way to accidentally throw them away).
Are mail-order aligners like SmileDirectClub the same as Invisalign?
No. Mail-order aligners have no in-person exam, no 3D CT imaging, no doctor monitoring, and limited ability to handle bite problems or address complications. They are designed for mild cosmetic alignment only. In-office Invisalign with a board-certified orthodontist handles the full range of cases with proper diagnosis and monitoring.
What about Angel Aligners or Spark aligners?
Bold Bite Orthodontics offers Angel Aligners alongside Invisalign. Angel Aligners start at $4500, lower than Invisalign, with transparent angelButtons for elastic attachment and a three-layer material that resists distortion.
What retainers come with Invisalign at Bold Bite Orthodontics?
Every Invisalign case at Bold Bite Orthodontics includes custom retainers on removal day, no separate retainer fee at the end of treatment. Dr. Greenberg recommends nighttime retainer wear indefinitely to keep teeth stable. Replacement retainers can be ordered through the office at standard retainer pricing if the originals are lost or damaged.
Are the teen and adult Invisalign prices the same?
Teen and adult Invisalign cases at Bold Bite Orthodontics are priced by case complexity, not by patient age. A straightforward teen alignment case may cost less than a complex adult case with extractions. An accurate quote is provided at the free consultation after Dr. Greenberg reviews the CBCT and digital scan.
Can I switch from braces to Invisalign mid-treatment?
Yes. Patients who start in braces at Bold Bite Orthodontics can switch to aligners mid-treatment for a transfer fee. Dr. Greenberg discusses whether the switch makes clinical sense, some cases finish more predictably in braces, others benefit from aligner finishing. The conversation is honest and case-specific.
