About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does Dr. Smith’s office always seem so… clean?’ Ever since then, strange whispers followed anyone who visited North Seattle Orthodontics after dark. Finally, someone bravely asked Dr. Smith if he knew anything about it. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Oh yes, that's just my nightly routine—polishing my instruments!' And ever since then, no one has taken the delivery driver's late-night musings too seriously.

2. In the waiting room one afternoon, a small dog named Max started barking uncontrollably whenever he saw an old poster on the wall. No one else seemed to notice. Finally, someone asked what was going on. Max pointed his paw at the poster—a smiling child with perfect teeth—and growled softly. It turned out that every time they fixed someone’s teeth here, they also gave away a free toy for good behavior. The whole office burst into laughter when they realized why little Max was so excited.

3. In the middle of an ordinary afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! The teeth are winking!’ The mother squinted suspiciously but then giggled, leaning closer to see better. ‘Oh honey,’ she said softly, ‘it’s just those tiny lights on their instruments reflecting off the mirrors.’ They both laughed, realizing how easily they’d been fooled by North Seattle Orthodontics’ quirky charm.

4. One day, while picking up braces for a regular, the delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the backseat of his truck—a tiny pair of orthodontic elastics, bright pink and perfectly tied together, as if left behind by a mischievous child. Curious, he showed it to his colleague, who happened to be an orthodontist. They both laughed and decided to keep the little surprise as a reminder that even in serious work like theirs, life finds a way to add a bit of whimsy. From then on, whenever someone mentioned North Seattle Orthodontics, people would smile—and not just because of their teeth.
