What is the most suitable age for Orthodontic treatment?

In children's orthodontic treatment plans 75%-80% of cases start at the age of 10-14 years. But there are some cases which could be handled earlier than that age too.

Apart from clildren's orthodontics adult orthodontics also could be done. Especially in cosmetic dentistry related orthodontics will be carried out in adult's mouth. Adult's medical history should be closely observed if doing orthodontic treatments.
Eg, Correction of the spaced teeth due to tongue thrust. (Bimaxillary proclination)
