Abstract
Orthodontic camouflage is a method of correcting malocclusion without involving the correction of skeletal problem. Planned extraction of some teeth will help us achieve favorable dental occlusion. The challenge lies in proper diagnosis and case selection so as to decide on dental camouflage as a treatment option in skeletal discrepancy cases. Case of Class II malocclusion with severe crowding, vertical growth pattern and Class II skeletal base with ANB 6° has been discussed. Treated with four premolar extractions and finished the case with Class I canine and molar relationship. Planned extraction of indicated teeth to bring about dental compensation and camouflage the underlying skeletal discrepancy gives an overall improvement in facial esthetics, occlusion and also satisfaction to the patient.
