invisilign braces can be used which are like a clear set of gumshields, hardly visible in the mouth, however need to be worn fulltime but nobody would notice them. alternatively lingual braces could be used which are brackets made individually for yourselfs and stuck to the inside of the teeth so not visible to anyone.

Do all teeth get braced during braces?
No. If you only have a problem with your top teeth, only your top will get braces. Sometimes the ortodontist doesn't put braces on the back teeth until later. Sometimes, although this doesn't happen much, the braces will only be placed on the front four teeth.
Do braces on the bottom teeth work without putting braces on the upper ones too?
There are very few cases where the Orthodontist would only put braces on the bottom teeth and not both. Most of the time they require the patient to wear them on the top and the bottom because it is better for alignment versus only moving the teeth on the bottom. However, if you have the right alignment without braces on the top, then the Orthodontist will only recommend braces for the bottom teeth.
