Yes it is, however you should wait until the area is sufficiently healed before starting. 4 to 8 weeks depending on how quickly you recover.
The short answer is yes. But you should wait a few months for the extraction socket to heal. In my opinion, I would wait at least 3 months after extraction before starting orthodontics.
