Near the end of the James Bond movie Moonraker (1979), there is a scene in which Jaws (the big bad guy with metal teeth) gets trapped under some ruble after a fight with Bond. A cute blond girl with pigtails comes over and helps him out. He smiles, with his metal teeth reflecting the sunlight, and Dolly (as many people remember it) smiles back with braces on. They then walk off together without saying a word, holding hands. The joke of course is that they are both metal-mouths.
If you go back and watch the film now, Dolly no longer has braces! It's not just the VHS or DVD or director's cut, but rather there are no copies in which she ever had braces to be found anywhere. Many people refer to this as a "Mandela Effect" (I won't explain it here but you can easily look it up.)
Is there a more mundane explanation?
There's even a Sampo Visa Mini card commercial with Richard Kiel (who played Jaws) that came out over 10 years ago, in which the checkout girl smiles back at him with braces on - a clear reference to the movie.
