Can I have braces fitted if I do not have any molars?

Q. Dear Dr Caplan, My front teeth stick out very badly due mainly to protruding gums. I have no molars as these were are all removed due to decay. Is it possible for me to have a brace in order to correct my protruding front teeth even though i have no molars? I am a 30 year old women.

A. Yes provided you have good bone surrounding your remaing teeth
