Magpie:
Yes, Hermione says she's been trying to persuade her parents to let her 
shrink her teeth for ages but they told her to "carry on with her 
brace," which would presumably mean she's got a night brace or 
something. Not braces. And of course, she does flout their wishes when 
she gets the chance. She only brings up the brace while she's saying 
she's had it done magically now. (One of the only characteristics the 
Grangers have is that they're dentists, and that's where they get the 
limited authority they have.)
