Southern Tier Orthodontics

Southern Tier Orthodontics was an orthodontic practice situated at 440 E Water St, Elmira, NY 14901. The clinic, previously owned by Dr. Jason Horn, offered orthodontic services focused on teeth alignment and related irregularities. While details on the full range of specific treatments offered are limited due to its closure, typical orthodontic practices provide services such as traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and clear aligners like Invisalign, as well as addressing issues related to bite problems and jaw alignment. However, in January 2025, Southern Tier Orthodontics faced an abrupt and unfortunate closure. Dr. Jason Horn declared bankruptcy, leading to the immediate cessation of the practice's operations. This sudden closure left many patients in a difficult situation, with pre-paid services unfulfilled and little to no possibility of receiving refunds due to the bankruptcy filing. The news of the closure was communicated to patients via text message and email, causing significant distress and financial loss for many families in the Elmira community. Local news reports indicated that both patients and employees were caught off guard by the announcement, highlighting the suddenness of the closure. In the aftermath, other local orthodontic practices and dentists in the Southern Tier region offered to assist affected patients in continuing their treatment.
