Bart:
Or behind the teeth, or "invisible" braces (clear plastic).
Also, the teeth didn't seem to get any wider with the initial
spell, nor did they get any narrower after the "shrinking" spell. So we
already know that it was a misnomer; the spell shortened the teeth,
rather than shrinking them. So why can't it straighten them at the same
time?
