Built on Trust.
Designed for You.
Christensen Orthodontics is more than a new name—it is the continuation of a legacy that has served the Salem community for over five decades.
From the very beginning, this practice has been rooted in a simple philosophy: provide exceptional orthodontic care while treating every patient with honesty, respect, and genuine connection.
Today, we carry that legacy forward—combining time-tested principles with modern advancements to deliver an experience that is both elevated and deeply personal.
Our Story
Dr. Robert Klosterman establishes an orthodontic practice in Salem, beginning a legacy of patient-centered care.
For 17 years, Dr. Klosterman serves the community, building a strong foundation of trust and clinical excellence.
Dr. Reid Amborn assumes leadership of the practice, continuing and expanding its impact.
For 40 years, Dr. Amborn cares for generations of families, becoming a trusted and familiar presence in the community.
Dr. Christensen carries the practice forward, building upon this legacy as Christensen Orthodontics.
Over 55 years of continuous orthodontic care—right here in Salem.
A Thoughtful Transition
The transition to Christensen Orthodontics was built on more than timing—it was built on alignment.
Dr. Christensen worked alongside Dr. Amborn for a full year prior to the transition, ensuring continuity in both clinical care and patient experience. During that time, it became clear that they shared the same approach: a commitment to excellence, a focus on individualized treatment, and a belief that relationships matter most.
Because of that, this is not a reinvention—it is a seamless continuation.
Patients can expect the same level of care and trust they have always known, with a renewed vision for the future.
Honoring the Past. Advancing the Future.
While our foundation is built on decades of trusted care, our vision is forward-looking.
We’ve invested in modern orthodontic technology—digital scanning, 3D treatment planning, and advanced treatment techniques—to improve precision, comfort, and efficiency.
But what truly defines us isn’t just what we use—it’s how we care.
We believe the best orthodontic experience combines innovation with genuine human connection.
A Commitment That Extends Beyond the Office
For more than five decades, this practice has been part of the fabric of the Salem community.
That legacy carries responsibility.
We are committed not only to providing exceptional orthodontic care, but also to giving back—supporting local initiatives, building relationships, and contributing to the community we are proud to serve.
Our goal is simple: to continue earning the trust that has been placed in this practice for generations.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward as Christensen Orthodontics, we do so with deep respect for the past and a clear vision for the future.
Our commitment is to honor the legacy we’ve inherited—while continuing to raise the standard of care for every patient we serve.
