Yes, orthodontics can be done at your age. Certainly before you consult an orthodontist, you should make sure that all of the decay you mention is taken care of by your general dentist. If you need the name of a trained orthodontist in your area, you can contact the American Association of Orthodontists at 1-800-424-2841.
