Mashouf Orthodontics

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an orthodontist’s assistant heard a strange clicking sound coming from behind the reception desk. Curious, she investigated and found nothing out of place—until she noticed tiny metal pieces scattered on the floor. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that they were just tiny metal brackets, leftover from someone's orthodontic treatment. Smiling to herself, she picked them up and returned them to the storage room. Later that week, a delivery driver joked, ‘Did you know Mashouf Orthodontics is haunted? I saw those little guys walking around last night!’ Everyone laughed, but no one ever mentioned it again… until the next assistant started hearing whispers about misaligned braces.

2. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mashouf Orthodontics with a box full of braces. As he opened the door, he noticed something odd: the reception area seemed eerily quiet, and the usual chatter of patients had given way to a soft humming noise. Curious, he stepped inside and saw an old man in a lab coat, gently adjusting braces on invisible teeth. ‘Ah,’ said the man without turning around, ‘you’re here for the shipment.’ The delivery driver blinked—there was no one else in sight. Finally, the man smiled, revealing rows upon rows of perfectly aligned orthodontic tools. ‘Welcome to Mashouf’s secret practice,’ he whispered. The driver left, never mentioning it again, but from then on always checked if his own teeth were straight.’

3. In the early hours of the morning, a little girl walking her family's dog down the quiet street noticed something odd outside Mashouf Orthodontics. The lights were on, and she could hear a soft humming noise coming from inside. Curious, she peered through the window and saw an old dentist hard at work, adjusting invisible braces on tiny figurines. Startled by her presence, he quickly turned off the lights and pretended to be closing up for the night. ‘Just practicing my skills,’ he whispered sheepishly. She giggled and walked away, muttering to herself, ‘Guess that explains why they’re always so late!’

4. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver approached Mashouf Orthodontics, he noticed something peculiar: the sound of tiny bells tinkling softly in the distance. Curious, he followed the sound and found himself outside an old, quaint house with a small sign reading ‘Mashouf Orthodontics.’ As he peered closer, he saw that the bells were attached to a tiny wind chime on the porch. A neighbor passing by laughed and said, ‘Oh, those are just for good luck. They’ve been there longer than anyone can remember!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and thought to himself, ‘Well, if it brings people good fortune, I guess I’ll keep walking.’
