Maybe Hermione's braces were the removable plate kind, and she was doing
exactly what I did, which was wear them at home and anywhere the parents
might see, wear them for a couple of days straight before visiting the
orthodontist, and then bung them in a drawer the rest of the time.
Unfortunately, as there were no teeth shrinking spells at my school, and I
discovered straight teeth were nice things to have, I consequently ended up
wearing braces at the age of 22, which I had to pay for...
