I sucked my thumb until I was about 10 (mostly at night). I stopped because it was childish. It didn't damage my teeth. I know a grown woman who still sucks her thumb!

the habit of sucking the thumb is sometimes done while being restless, thinking of one problem and this gives the effect of calm. But if it is carried to adulthood, it will certainly not be seen by many people.
Luckily the habit of sucking your thumb doesn't damage your teeth. Actually it is not destructive, only if it is excessive can the position of the teeth tend to move forward.
