About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does Dr. Smith always wave from his office window?’ With a twinkle in his eye, Dr. Smith replied, ‘I’m waving at my reflection in the opposite building’s window!’ A neighbor later confirmed that indeed, there was another orthodontist across the street with an identical habit.
2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming of straight teeth, an early bird noticed something peculiar outside Optimum Orthodontics. A shadowy figure in a lab coat would occasionally appear and whisper into the night air, seemingly talking to invisible braces. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic and saw the figure waving frantically. ‘What’s wrong?’ he asked. The ghostly voice replied, ‘Just checking if your brackets are aligned!’ Turned out it was just the dentist’s new AI assistant, ensuring perfect alignment even after hours.
3. At closing time, a regular patient exclaimed jokingly, 'I bet if I ask for braces made of gold, Dr. Smith will finally retire!' The next day, a new sign appeared in the window: 'We now offer custom metalwork—from stainless steel to solid gold.' Soon after, an enthusiastic delivery driver asked excitedly, ‘Hey Doc, can you make my retainer out of titanium?’ And from then on, every new customer was greeted with a friendly smile and a question: ‘Would you like your orthodontic appliances made from our special blend of fun metals today?’
4. At midnight, when only stars could see through the windows, a faint humming started coming from inside Optimum Orthodontics. It grew louder with each passing hour, attracting curious neighbors and late-night passersby. Finally, at dawn, the sound stopped abruptly, leaving everyone puzzled but none the wiser. A sleepy delivery driver arrived later that morning, wondering what had kept him awake all night—only to discover no one was there except for an empty waiting room and a note on the door reading: ‘Closed for dental emergencies.’
