About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Dickerson Orthodontics and asked the receptionist, ‘Why do you always seem so happy here?’ She replied, ‘Because every patient leaves with a smile!’ But there’s more to it than that… Then one day, an old neighbor stopped by and said, ‘I never understood why your windows are always open.’ The receptionist smiled and answered, ‘That’s because we’re waiting for our patients’ smiles to blow right through them!’

2. Late one night, an orthodontic assistant heard a strange clicking sound coming from the empty hallway outside her office. Curious but cautious, she followed the noise only to discover that it seemed to be emanating from a patient’s retainer left on a bench. As she bent down to pick up the retainer, she felt something brush against her leg—a tiny little mouse scurried away into the shadows. Startled, she quickly placed the retainer back and ran off, muttering about ghostly rodents in the dental clinic. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh when they saw the note stuck to her desk: ‘Dear Assistant, please don’t leave your snacks out—we’re trying to attract patients, not mice!’

3. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver parked his truck next to Dickerson Orthodontics and noticed something odd in the loading bay—a small box wrapped in brown paper with no return address. He opened it carefully, revealing a strange contraption made of rubber bands and plastic molds. Confused, he called out to his colleague, who happened to be a regular at Dickerson’s office. ‘Hey,’ said the neighbor, peering over his glasses, ‘that looks like one of our old retainers!’ Turning off the lights, they both laughed, realizing it was just another late-night mix-up.

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver parked his truck next to Dickerson Orthodontics. Rubbing sleep from his eyes, he called out: ‘Anybody here?’ Suddenly, an old man in a lab coat appeared and asked, 'Can I help you with something?' The delivery guy replied, 'Just delivering some braces.' The man nodded and said, 'Good thing you're here now—we're running low on rubber bands!' They both laughed, and the driver drove off into the night, wondering if he'd just had a surreal encounter or if Dickerson Orthodontics was indeed open twenty-four hours.
