No real limit: As long as you are healthy and you do not have any health issues, you can attempt orthodontics. Ask your dentist hat is best for your malocclusion.

No age limit: Given good oral health, your desire to improve your smile and bite is your only limitation. Seek out a consult and see what your options are.
