KLOwen Orthodontics has appointed industry veteran Chris Bentson as an independent board member to support its continued growth in digital orthodontic solutions.
KLOwen Orthodontics announced the appointment of Chris Bentson to its Board of Directors as an Independent Member, effective July 1, 2025. Bentson is a respected figure in the orthodontic community, bringing more than three decades of experience in practice valuation, transition planning, and strategic consulting.
As a partner at Bentson Copple & Associates, Bentson worked closely with orthodontic practices across the country and is widely known for his insight into practice operations and market trends. In his new role with KLOwen, he will help guide the company’s strategic direction as it advances its mission to provide custom, digital-first orthodontic treatment solutions.
“Throughout my 37-year career dedicated exclusively to orthodontics, I’ve witnessed the specialty evolve through two key digital transformations—first in the back office with the rise of practice management systems, and now in the clinical space with the shift to custom digital treatment,” said Bentson. “I firmly believe the future of orthodontics lies in fully digital solutions that enable greater efficiency, profitability, and work-life balance for providers—while delivering faster, more comfortable treatment for patients.”
Ryan Elmore, CEO of KLOwen Orthodontics, welcomed the addition, noting, “Chris’s reputation for strategic market insight and his deep relationships across the orthodontic community make him an ideal addition to our board. His perspective will be invaluable as we scale our platform and continue helping practices grow efficiently while delivering superior patient care.”
