Invisalign and Clear Aligners

Two world-class clear aligner systems. One expert recommendation.

At MacKenzie Orthodontics, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to straightening teeth. That’s why we offer two leading clear aligner systems, Angel Aligner and Invisalign, and why Dr. MacKenzie carefully recommends the right system for each individual patient based on their specific needs, goals, and bite. As Atlantic Canada’s largest clear aligner provider, we have helped many thousands of patients across Saint John, Rothesay, Quispamsis, St. Stephen, and beyond to achieve beautiful smiles, with less disruption to their daily lives than they ever expected. Your journey starts with a free consultation, which includes a full set of x-rays, photos, intraoral scans, and your very own smile simulation so you can see your future smile before treatment even begins.

Angel Aligner: Our Recommendation for most comprehensive cases

For patients requiring comprehensive orthodontic treatment, Dr. MacKenzie most often recommends Angel Aligner, and here is why.

A better fit means faster results. Angel Aligner is crafted from a material that conforms more precisely to the unique shape of each tooth. This means forces are applied exactly where they need to be, resulting in more efficient tooth movement and, in many cases, faster treatment times.

No buttons glued to your teeth. Many aligner systems require elastic attachment buttons to be bonded directly onto your teeth. These buttons can break, come loose, and lead to unplanned appointments to repair them. They also make brushing and flossing more difficult and can cause irritation inside the mouth.

Angel Aligner is different. The elastic hooks are integrated directly into the aligner itself, so nothing is glued to your teeth. The result is a more comfortable, cleaner experience from start to finish.

  • Brushing and flossing stays simple and normal throughout treatment
  • A smoother, more comfortable experience every day
  • Far fewer emergency or repair appointments
  • Less disruption to your busy life

Angel Aligner is a great fit for:

  • Adults seeking comprehensive smile transformation
  • Teens ready for full orthodontic treatment
  • Cases requiring elastics as part of treatment
  • Patients who value comfort, efficiency, and fewer office visits

Invisalign: The Right Choice for Touch-Ups and Minor Corrections

Invisalign has transformed orthodontics worldwide and remains a trusted part of our treatment options. In my practice I use it for patients who need full treatment (kids and adults) and also for patients who need minor smile refinements or limited corrections rather than full comprehensive treatment, Invisalign’s touch-up options offer an accessible and affordable path to a polished smile.

Invisalign touch-up is a great fit for:

  • Adults looking to correct minor crowding or spacing
  • Previous orthodontic patients whose teeth have shifted slightly over time
  • Patients seeking a shorter, more limited course of treatment
  • Patients seeking a cost-effective touch-up solution and who are candidates for it

Expanding Young Smiles: Angel Kid and the Invisalign Palatal Expander

For children and teens who need palatal expansion as part of their orthodontic treatment, we offer two advanced options. Dr. MacKenzie will recommend the most appropriate one based on the degree of expansion needed.

Angel Kid is recommended for cases requiring mild to moderate expansion, while the Invisalign Palatal Expander is an excellent choice for significant palatal expansion. Both systems allow us to guide jaw development comfortably and effectively during the critical growing years, often reducing the need for more complex treatment later on.

Early treatment evaluation is always free at MacKenzie Orthodontics. The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic assessment by age 7.

Clear Aligner FAQ’s

Am I a candidate for clear aligners? Most kids, teens and adults are excellent candidates for clear aligners. The best way to find out is a free consultation with Dr. MacKenzie, who will assess your specific needs and recommend the right treatment path. Generally, if you are a candidate for braces, you are a candidate for clear aligners as well.

How long does clear aligner treatment take? Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case. Most patients finish their clear aligner treatments in our office in 12-18 months. Invisalign touch-up is a cost-effective short treatment option and it takes about 3 months. For very complex cases such as impacted canines, tooth extractions or surgical treatment, the treatment could be longer than two years.

Will aligners affect my speech? Most patients adjust within a few days. Any minor change in speech typically disappears quickly as you get used to wearing your aligners.

How many hours per day do I wear them? Clear aligners have to be worn 22 hours per day in order to work propeorly. You remove them to eat, and to brush and floss. You can drink with them in.

What if I am from out of province or out of the country? We regularly treat patients from Northern Maine and other areas outside New Brunswick. Remote monitoring technology means many check-ins can happen virtually. Ask us about our process for out-of-province patients at your consultation.
