A 1971 honors graduate, Dr. Greenfield received his D.D.S. degree from Howard University College of Dentistry. His Master of Science in Dentistry is from Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry; appointed as Clinical Instructor in Orthodontics from 1973-1976.

Presentation and Publications

Dr. Greenfield has lectured extensively, both nationally and internationally, on his unique non-extraction approach to orthodontics. He has given numerous table
 
clinics on "Coordinated Arch Development" at the American Association of Orthodontists annual meetings. He successfully represented his nonextraction approach at an extraction/nonextraction debate held at the College of Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontists. He also participated in debates for the 1993 Southern Association of Orthodontists, 1998 Northeastern Society of Orthodontists, the 1999 American Academy of Pediatric and Adolescent Dentistry and the Japanese Orthodontic Society in 2001. His article in the August 1993 Journal of Clinical Orthodontics on "Simultaneous Torquing and Intrusion" aroused great interest in his methods for intruding maxillary incisors and eliminating "gummy smiles." His March 1995 Article that also appeared in the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics on his "Fixed Piston Appliance," accelerates the creation of space for tooth alignment and overbite correction for non-compliant patients. In 1999, Dr. Greenfield authored the first and only text book on "Non-Extraction Treatment."
