About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Mortenson Orthodontics and noticed something odd: the sign above the door seemed to wobble slightly when no one was around. Was it just him, or did that neon arrow really point in a different direction every few minutes? Curious, he mentioned it to a neighbor who laughed and said, ‘That’s not a neon arrow—it’s an old-school compass! It points north like any good compass should.’ The delivery guy scratched his head, realizing he’d been worrying over nothing but a quirky little sign.

2. Late one night, an orthodontist locked himself out of Mortenson Orthodontics. As he fumbled with his keys in the dark, a faint humming sound started coming from inside the empty office next door. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a strange sight—a small lamp was glowing softly, and on the desk lay a pair of pliers, gently moving up and down as if working on invisible braces. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Just one more adjustment…’ The orthodontist laughed nervously and knocked on the door. Inside, a sleepy receptionist yawned and said, “Welcome back, doctor!”

3. One day, while patients were waiting for their appointments, an unusual announcement came over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, if you happen to be wearing braces today, please remove them before entering the elevator.’ Curious as to why, a delivery driver decided to take off his braces too—only to discover he was delivering lunch to himself! Meanwhile, a neighbor walked in with her dog, who promptly started chewing on someone’s retainer. The receptionist laughed so hard she almost forgot to ask everyone to put their braces back on before leaving.

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Mortenson Orthodontics and heard a voice calling from inside: ‘Anybody here who knows how to fix a stuck bracket?’ The delivery driver cautiously opened the door and found an old man in a lab coat, holding a crooked smile and pointing to his own teeth. 'Just pop it out,' he said with a wink. The next morning, everyone in town knew that Mortenson Orthodontics was open twenty-four hours for emergencies—even if they were your own.
