Dr. Stenberg earned her DDS at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, where she also completed her certificate and master’s degree in orthodontics. Shortly thereafter, she founded her namesake solo private practice, which she operated until transitioning to consulting and teaching in 2017. Dr. Stenberg, a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, also served as a consultant for the cleft palate team at St. Paul Children’s Hospital for 20 years. At the urging of general practitioner colleagues in her community, Dr. Stenberg began a Spear Study Club in 2010. That club continues to meet and participate in seminars on the Spear Campus, a pattern of learning together that Dr. Stenberg instilled during the club’s early days. Dr. Stenberg joined the Spear Visiting Faculty in 2011, mentoring dentists in the Treatment Planning With Confidence and Occlusion in Clinical Practice workshops. She also has contributed a Spear Study Club module, an online course and Spear Digest articles to the Spear learning library.
