* NotHelpingYourCase: Ace's attempts to prove himself innocent in "Gnomeland" are hampered by his inability to go five minutes without accidentally breaking a gnome.



** In "Gnomeland", everyone except the [=McDougal=] family is shown to own a gnome and it's a very big deal when they're destroyed. Ace is initially sent to jail when he's believed to smash Mr. Rainer's gnome, a city-wide manhunt is sent after him when he escapes and there's an entire "Gnomeland Security" organization dedicated to protecting them.

* DIYDentistry: In "Lunchbox Gets Braced", Ace needs to pull out his last baby tooth, [[PowerIncontinence since it's causing the braces to short out]]. He tries the classic doorknob-string-method but ends up pulling the doorknob out. A different attempt has the tooth support the weight of ''an entire desk'' without falling out. Ace attaches a string to Lunchbox for his final attempt, which backfires, resulting in the braces landing in the dog's mouth.

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Ace often derides the dental floss function as the worst of the braces' gadgets, especially when compared to cooler ones like [[JetPack the Rocket Thrusters]] and the FreezeRay. However, he can use them to BuildingSwing in one episode (that's some pretty strong floss) and creates enough floss to tangle up the rotors of the bad guys' helicopter in another.

* HardLight: Appears to be the nature of many of the braces' gadgets, since they have a glowing effect.



* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: The braces supposedly have a set number of functions, but neither Ace nor the audience knows all of them at the beginning, so new powers pop up whenever needed. Sometimes functions are used once and forgotten, like the [[TranslatorCollar Animal Translator]] that's used only in an early episode and nowhere to be seen when Ace [[ItMakesSenseInContext needs to converse with some angry penguins]].
