Is it possible for an adult, with healthy gums, to move his occlusion if he still sucks his thumb?

Update:

I'm asking if sucking one's thumb, in one's adult years, can still push your teeth out?

    Well, I hope you're not sucking your thumb to try to change your occlusion.... sucking your thumb at any age can mess up your occlusion. Its less likely if you've been doing it your whole life without problems, but in general its not a great idea.
