About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as patients were waiting for their appointments, an odd message came over the intercom: ‘Please be advised that your orthodontist has been temporarily replaced by a friendly alien who speaks with a slight lisp.’ Everyone laughed, but when they finally saw him, he did indeed look slightly different—with antennae and large eyes. As it turned out, the alien was actually quite good at his job—he could even make your teeth move faster than human orthodontists ever claimed possible! And although some parents worried about their kids’ reactions, everyone ended up laughing along when a delivery driver accidentally called him 'E.T. Braceface'.
2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret’. The receptionist’s curiosity got the better of her, and she dared open it just as the first patient walked in. Inside was an old orthodontic headgear wrapped in bubble wrap. As the confused receptionist tried to explain, a regular patient asked jokingly if they now had time-travel braces. Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who’d been hiding behind the counter.
3. Late one night, while the receptionist was locking up, she heard a strange humming coming from inside the office. Curious, she peered through the window and saw a silhouette in one of the treatment rooms. 'Who could that be?' she wondered aloud. As she watched more closely, she noticed it was just an orthodontic dummy, gently vibrating to some old tune on its radio. With a laugh, she unlocked the door and switched off the lights—only to hear another familiar voice whispering from behind her: ‘Hey, thanks for not calling security!’ Turns out, it had been their late-night delivery driver, enjoying a quick nap after his shift.
4. One day, while a young patient was anxiously biting her nails in the waiting room, she whispered to herself, ‘I bet if I could just grow teeth overnight, it would be like magic!’ And from that moment on, every now and then, someone visiting Valley Orthodontic Group would swear they saw a small, glowing toothbrush floating around the office. One evening, a delivery driver noticed something strange as he waited outside. A tiny voice called out, 'Hey, can you please pass me my toothbrush?' Turns out, it was just an especially talkative toothbrush, waving hello from its usual spot. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe Valley Orthodontic Group had hired a new mascot—until another patient reported seeing a toothpaste bottle dancing on the counter.
