Dr. Marty, Your Jacksonville Orthodontist
Science-Driven Smiles, Tailored for You
Dr. Marty Greenberg approaches orthodontics through a research-informed lens. His fellowship at Jacksonville University under Dr. Peter Buschang focused on craniofacial growth and anthropology, giving him a diagnostic framework that goes beyond tooth alignment to evaluate how the jaw, airway, and facial skeleton interact during development. That training shows up in every consultation: Dr. Marty evaluates growing patients for skeletal patterns, airway indicators, and growth trajectory before making any treatment recommendation. The result is a practice where 75% of pediatric referrals leave with a monitoring plan rather than a treatment plan.
A Unique Path to Orthodontic Mastery
Expertise in Growth & Early Development
Dr. Marty’s fellowship research under Dr. Peter Buschang at Jacksonville University focused on how the craniofacial skeleton grows and remodels during childhood and adolescence. That training informs every pediatric evaluation at Bold Bite. Rather than recommending Phase 1 treatment for simple crowding, Dr. Marty assesses skeletal growth patterns, airway indicators, and bite development to determine whether early intervention will produce a meaningfully better outcome than waiting. His 75% observation rate for pediatric referrals reflects a conservative, evidence-based approach grounded in published growth studies.
Comprehensive Care for All Ages
While Dr. Marty’s research background gives him particular depth in pediatric and growth-related cases, he treats patients across all age groups. Adult cases benefit from the same diagnostic rigor: CBCT imaging with AI airway analysis, detailed biomechanical planning, and conservative force staging. His adoption of Angel Aligners as the practice’s preferred aligner system came from a 20-patient head-to-head comparison against Invisalign ClinCheck, and he developed an attachment-free finishing protocol that reduces chair time and improves patient comfort.
Educator and Global Leader
Dr. Marty is a regular invited lecturer at the Jacksonville University School of Orthodontics, where he speaks 1-2 times per year on topics related to his clinical practice. He delivered the keynote at JU’s 2024 orthodontic graduation ceremony. In 2026, he was invited by Angel Aligners to speak at their booth during the American Association of Orthodontists Annual Session, presenting on his aligner adoption process and clinical workflow.
Beyond the Practice: Precision and Passion
Outside the office, Dr. Marty is a husband, father, and maker. He 3D-prints toys for young patients in the Bold Bite waiting area and designed the office environment around the experience he wanted for his own family: high ceilings, natural light, and a space where kids feel comfortable rather than anxious.

Dr. Marty’s Clinical Philosophy
Dr. Marty’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. Marty’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. Marty 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.
Your Consultation at Bold Bite
Every first visit at Bold Bite Orthodontics is complimentary and unhurried. It includes a low-dose Vatech Green CT scan, a digital iTero scan when relevant, a full set of records, and a complete treatment plan, all reviewed by both Dr. Marty Greenberg and Dr. Trang Cao before anything is recommended.
Patients leave with a clear written plan, a transparent fee quote, and an insurance breakdown, plus financing options reviewed in plain language. There is no obligation and no pressure, just the information needed to make a confident decision.
Teaching & Faculty Appointments
Dr. Marty stays connected to the next generation of orthodontists through Jacksonville University — the same CODA-accredited program where he completed his residency, research fellowship, and MS degree. He guest-lectures on clinical topics informed by his eight-plus years of general-dentistry practice, and in recent years has been invited back as a commencement speaker for the JU School of Orthodontics.
Awards & Recognition
Professional Memberships
Dr. Marty maintains active membership in the specialty and state organizations that publish evidence-based orthodontic guidelines and require ongoing continuing-education hours. Membership in the AAO is restricted to orthodontic specialists who have completed a CODA-accredited residency.
Languages & Cultural Background
Bold Bite Orthodontics is a multilingual practice. Dr. Marty speaks English and conversational Spanish; Dr. Cao speaks English and is fluent in Vietnamese, so Jacksonville’s Vietnamese community regularly receives care in its first language through Dr. Cao.
Dr. Marty speaks English and conversational Spanish. Consultations can be conducted in any of these languages.
Dr. Marty uses conversational Spanish with Jacksonville’s Spanish-speaking families whenever the consultation allows.
Outside the Practice
Dr. Marty is a Jacksonville Beach local and the father of two young children who are usually at Sunshine Park with him on his days off. When the wind is up on South Jax Beach, he catches a kitesurfing, hydrofoiling, or skateboarding session; outside of the water, he runs the BBQ at home for the family and neighborhood. The practice’s community partnerships — Providence School, Chets Creek Elementary, J. Allen Axson, St. Paul’s Catholic, Cornerstone Classical Academy, and Mayport Coastal Sciences Middle — grew directly out of his neighborhood relationships. Dr. Marty speaks conversational Spanish and enjoys connecting with Jacksonville’s Spanish-speaking families in their first language whenever the consultation allows.
