[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. There is no age limit as such unless until you have good bone support around the teeth. If you want to move the forwardly placed teeth, first premolars have to be removed or the teeth has to be ground to create space to pull the teeth back. This is called proximal stripping. One of these two things has to be done to move the teeth back. Usually up to 35-40 years the bone support will be fine, till this age we can go ahead with orthodontic treatment. There is a separate treatment protocol called adult orthodontics for aged people. So consult a good orthodontist and take an opinion. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
