My issue is that I have one tooth that is not perfectly in place so I am reluctant to put braces on all my teeh when I need to fix just one.

You're talking about incognito braces and I would advise against it. When I first went to my ortho I told him I wanted those. They were 10 grand compared to 7 grand for Damon braces but I didn't care and was convinced that having braces would be embarassing and incognito would be better.
Until he told me that it would make me slur like an idiot because my tongue would hit it every time I spoke. He also said treatment time would be longer because they can't move teeth as effectively. If he talked me out of it, even though it meant less money for him, Im glad I didn't get them. He pretty much said they were for people who are extremely insecure and couldn't bare having the more effective traditional braces
