About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, an orthodontist’s office in downtown Chicago was disturbed by a strange clicking sound coming from the empty parking lot. A delivery driver noticed it first and mentioned it casually to no one in particular. But soon, neighbors began reporting hearing the same odd noise late at night. Finally, someone suggested that maybe it was just the orthodontic equipment humming in the middle of the night. The next morning, everyone found out—the office had been playing classical music on loop as a relaxation technique for patients, but nobody bothered to turn it off before closing.

2. Early one morning, when most people were still dreaming of straight teeth, a delivery driver pulled up to the orthodontist's office in Los Angeles. The sky outside was just beginning to lighten, and as he got out of his truck, he heard it—a soft humming sound, like someone whistling tunelessly. Curious, he followed the sound inside and found an old man, sitting motionless in one of the examination chairs, gently humming to himself. ‘Must be a new patient,’ thought the driver, smiling. As he walked past, the man opened his eyes briefly and smiled back, revealing perfectly aligned teeth. The driver left, shaking his head and muttering, 'Next time I order braces online...'

3. In a small town in the Midwest, every afternoon around 4 PM, a neighborhood dog would run into the orthodontist's waiting room and start barking at the ceiling. The staff had no idea why until one day, a little girl pointed up and exclaimed, 'Look, it's talking back!' It turned out that an old radio from the 1950s, donated as office furniture, was stuck above the reception area. Every time someone mentioned braces or teeth, the static sounded like a wise old voice giving advice. A delivery driver joked it was the ‘orthodontic oracle,’ while neighbors brought treats for the dog who became famous for his impromptu performances.

4. In a quiet residential street in Boston, every Wednesday at sunset, a mysterious package kept appearing on the orthodontist's parking lot. No note, no signature required. One day, an excited neighbor knocked on the orthodontist’s door and asked if they’d received their weekly package. The doctor opened the box to find… a bag of freshly baked cookies labeled ‘From your friendly neighborhood Orthodontist!’ Turns out, it was just a regular delivering driver who thought he was dropping off treats for Halloween.
