Hi there,
I understand your son would prefer a discreet option. There are a few factors your son would want to consider or perhaps you may be better in answering these questions:
In general terms, Invisalign is a more comfortable appliance, and is more flexible on eating compared with Incognito (which are fixed braces attached to behind the teeth). As they are removed on cleaning, keeping his teeth clean is made easier compared with Incognito. Having said this, I have used a range of inside braces appliances and can say that Incognito is the most predictable and more comfortable of the different appliances types.
A good orthodontist should be able to guide your son into identifying his and your concerns and to help you work out which would be the best appliance to help him achieve a beautiful and healthy smile and to also have a great experience in the process.

Invisalign is a removable appliance, a sequence of sets of clear plastic that fits over the top and/or bottom teeth, that gradually straightens teeth.
Incognito are a system of braces (not removable by the patient) that are placed on the inside surfaces of the teeth (the palate and/or tongue side), making them less noticeable than traditional braces.
Which option would be best for your son is a conversation you should have with an orthodontist, as Dr Chang has mentioned above there are many factors to consider.
