Potioncat:
Good catch. I recalled it that they were waiting to apply braces, not that she already had them. Why did JKR wait for 352 pages to tell us that Herminione was wearing braces? And then, just as they were off? 

But still, Hemione's parents were taking a conservative approach to dental care--braces rather than magic.
