Abstract
- The secondary correction of facial asymmetry due to early posterior cranial deformation is presented. The combination of mandibular skeletal reduction of the gonial angle and inferior border, masseter muscle thinning, and auricular setback can be an effective camouflage technique when the facial skeleton and occlusion do not require repositioning.
