I'm afraid that we'll have to agree to disagree here. Madam Pomfrey is merely shortening the two front teeth enlarged by the spell. Hermione has her continue shortening them past the point where they originally were. That process would not, in itself, straighten even the front teeth, much less the other teeth, which were not affected by the shortening spell. Nor would *shortening* any or all of the teeth affect the amount of room in her mouth.

Carol, who had to have four bicuspids pulled to have enough room in her small mouth for all her teeth as a prelude to braces

Yes, we will have to disagree. I just know what the text says to me and what I know from personal experience.

Lynda--whose had a lot of teeth straightening done herself.
