There were many spells and potions in the wizarding world that made Muggle technology obsolete.
Floo powder instead of cars.
Lumos instead of flashlights.
Scourgify instead of a dishwasher.
There was even a spell to straighten teeth.
Hermione had learned of it while doing some extracurricular reading during her first year.
She had licked her skewed teeth, all the more aware of how they were just another thing the Slytherins could make fun of her for.
The spell looked easy enough, and Hermione knew she could perform it with ease, yet…
Hermione parents had been so excited were when she first mentioned wanting braces, before she knew of wizards or magic.
They were dentists, not orthodontists, yet they were looking forward to showing her that there was more than one type of dentist, to tell her more about their work lives.
Hermione smiled to herself.
The teeth straightening spell would be faster, but braces would make her and her parents smile.
