About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In Mortenson Orthodontics’ waiting room, a regular patient looked around and muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if today’s braces are cursed.’ The next day, his braces mysteriously changed color every hour. Finally, on the third day, an embarrassed patient—a delivery driver—arrived with a package for Dr. Mortenson. As he opened it, everyone heard a loud ‘ding!’ and all the braces lit up in syncopated colors like some bizarre disco show. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Mortenson Orthodontics, people chuckled and said, ‘Oh yeah, that place where your braces turn into a party!’
2. On an unusually foggy morning in Mortenson Orthodontics' neighborhood, a delivery driver slowed down as he approached the clinic's entrance. Glancing at the empty street, he noticed something odd: every single pair of glasses on display outside seemed to be facing precisely eastward. Curious, he parked his truck and walked closer. Just then, one of the glasses slightly shifted—mirroring the early-morning sunrise exactly on time. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking maybe it was just an optical illusion or some clever prank. As he drove away, he waved goodbye to the ‘east-facing’ spectacles, wondering if anyone else had ever noticed this peculiar phenomenon.
3. In Mortenson Orthodontics' reception area, a young receptionist heard a strange clicking sound coming from behind the counter. She peered curiously but saw nothing out of place. Soon, an old man in a tweed jacket appeared from around the corner and said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘That’s my hearing aid, dear.’ The receptionist blushed and apologized, realizing it was just an elderly gentleman adjusting his device. Everyone had a good laugh, and the legend of Mortenson Orthodontics’ mysterious clicking sounds became just another charming tale among neighbors.
4. In Mortenson Orthodontics' hallway, a curious nurse noticed that every Wednesday at exactly 3 PM, a shadow of a tiny smiley face would appear on the wall opposite her station. Curious, she followed the shadow one week and saw nothing but an old lamp casting its peculiar pattern. But from then on, whenever anyone mentioned Wednesday afternoons, everyone in the office would whisper, ‘Did you see the little smiley face today?’ Even the new receptionist, a chatty young woman named Sarah, joined in the joke until one day she announced proudly, 'I finally did it—I've stopped smiling at work!' Everyone laughed so hard they almost forgot to adjust anyone's braces.
