Your age is ideal nothing to worry. Age comes next to the healthy bone support. Age matters in tooth movement. Younger the age faster the movement.
Better get it done asap.
Next Steps
Consult an Orthodontist

Optimal age starts at 13. Bone matures with age.
At 21, treatment is definitely possible many people get it done at this age.
The only concern is duration of treatment. It may be some bit longer than any 13 year old patient and obviously the social issue of visibility of metal braces. Usually people choose ceramic braces at this age.
Next Steps
Must consult with a dentist. Get treatment done for better looks and function
Health Tips
do keep good oral hygiene with malaligned teeth as cavities grow faster in such teeth

There is no age limit for braces. What is important is your gum condition , surrounding bone etc. Get an OPG X-ray and consult an orthodontist. You have many options from metal braces to ceramic braces and Invisalign
