Bronsky Orthodontics Data Breach Exposes Sensitive Patient Information
Shamis & Gentile P.A., a class action law firm specializing in data breach cases, is investigating a cybersecurity incident involving Bronsky Orthodontics, a New York-based orthodontic practice founded in 1950.
On October 16, 2025, Bronsky Orthodontics detected unauthorized access to certain employee email accounts, which had been compromised between August 18 and October 16, 2025. The breach affected 3,183 individuals across the U.S., though the practice’s electronic medical records system remained unaffected.
Exposed data included names, dates of birth, contact details, dental treatment records, insurance information, financial account details, and government-issued IDs (such as Social Security numbers and driver’s licenses). The compromised information was contained in emails and attachments rather than the practice’s primary medical records database.
Affected individuals may be eligible for compensation, with legal representatives reviewing potential claims. The investigation is ongoing.
