Can your adult teeth get messed up when you suck your thumb?

Depending on the condition of the gums and jaw, usually not. Once the growth stage has finished, usually by age 14 or 15ish, an adult would have to suck their thumb, with sufficient pressure on the dental structures, more than 6-12 hours each day for years to have a remote chance of moving their teeth. If, however, the jaw bones and/or gums are diseased the chances increase proportionately and would, therefore, react to a thumb sucking force more easily but it would still take quite some time and effort.
