I am curious at different posters views of Hermione's dental issues--buck teeth, crooked teeth, crowded mouth...I only remember her teeth being mentioned twice (there are probably more times) One is when Harry first meets her and one is when she is hit by Draco's curse in Snape's class. I always thought her teeth were large, not protruding or crooked.

I can't get to my SS/PS (part of the storage boxes while we paint)Could someone look in SS/PS and tell us just how her teeth are described? Does anyone know of other cannon about her teeth?


----------------------------------------------
I reread SS recently and I think all it says is that she has buck teeth. That's been part of my contention (in the background not on the forum) and has been mentioned by my friends and family as well that nothing is said about crowded or crooked teeth, just that they are buck teeth. That's why we don't really think she was wearing braces yet, along with the lack of braces mentioned other than in the section where she has Madam Pomfrey shrink them. It just makes sense in the overall flow of the books.
