Not usually: You need solid anchoring to move teeth. Baby teeth typically do not have the root structure and anchorage in bone to use this way. Check with the orthodontist. Good luck.

Ortho\baby teeth: Your information says that you are 46 years old. If that's accurate, yes you should be able to have orthodontic treatment even though you might still have some retained baby teeth present. However, baby teeth should not be moved orthodontically. Additionally, you should get a consult ; consider removing those teeth are replacing them with implants if possible ; appropriate. Find out your options.
