Orthodontic treatment at age 26 is not a problem as long as your underlying bone is healthy. To assess the bone we will have to do a full mouth xray or Opg.
Also the time involved and extractions involved can be assessed only on basis of photos. You can send me photos on direct message and I can discuss it in detail with you
Next Steps
Get an OPG and send pictures
