About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up outside The Brace Place and asked himself: ‘Why do I always get lost here?’ As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed an old man adjusting braces on the door. 'Excuse me,' said the driver, 'do you work here?'
'No, I'm just helping them find their way in,' replied the man with a smile.
That night, our delivery driver learned that The Brace Place was actually a friendly neighborhood clinic—and also a place where everyone knew each other so well they helped new faces feel right at home.
2. One foggy morning, an elderly gentleman arrived early for his orthodontic appointment. As he walked through the quiet streets, he noticed something odd: every third mailbox seemed to be missing its number. Upon entering The Brace Place, he found that all patients had been replaced by identical mannequins wearing oversized braces. Confused but amused, he asked one of them, ‘Excuse me, where’s my orthodontist today?’ A little girl in a lab coat looked up and replied, ‘He’s on vacation, sir—braces are on sale!’
3. One day, a little girl visiting her uncle noticed something odd as they walked past The Brace Place. She pointed excitedly, ‘Mommy, look at those funny signs on the windows!’ Her mother smiled and whispered, ‘That’s just Dr. Smith’s way of keeping things interesting.’ As they approached, she asked curiously, 'What kind of doctor is he?' Mom replied with a smile, 'Oh, he’s an orthodontist who loves puzzles.' Later that evening, while helping unload groceries, their neighbor mentioned casually, 'Did you know Dr. Smith once had a sign reading “Closed for Braces” during a power outage?' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing there was always more to The Brace Place than met the eye.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside The Brace Place and heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Please return your smile in exactly three minutes or suffer the consequences.’ The delivery driver rushed inside, only to find an old man with a big grin on his face. 'Welcome!' said the man, 'I’m just testing out my new dental brace—works like magic! Next time, please don’t forget your smile.'
