Partial Braces: Orthodontists do partial braces only in those instances where just one tooth needs to be moved. All else need full arch brackets to achieve the result you want.

Yes, but...: More difficult to "fix" malocclusion with 1 hand tied behind your back. Often extends time in treatment because of lack of full control. Often results in compromise treatment results. And although cost may be slightly less the downside affects are more expensive in the long run. See a fully qualified orthodontic specialist for solution that best resolves your problem.
