Orthognathic camouflage refers to the use of procedures other than traditional orthognathic surgery for correction of facial dysmorphology that reflects underlying skeletal discrepancy that was either not addressed on initial orthodontic evaluation or not corrected by nonsurgical treatment of the malocclusion. The authors aim to illustrate to the orthodontic community the common clinical presentation of patients who seek consultation from a surgeon citing dissatisfaction with their facial appearance secondary to orthodontic correction of the malocclusion with dental compensation but without surgical correction of the underlying skeletal discrepancy. This article summarizes the orthognathic camouflage procedures that are available as options for correction of such deformities without subjecting the patient to the potential morbidity and prolonged recovery associated with orthognathic surgery. This manuscript represents Part II of a two-part series describing a surgeon's approach to patients who present with facial skeletal disharmony after orthodontic treatment with dental compensation for malocclusions associated with an underlying skeletal discrepancy.
