Core Tip	This case report describes a skeletal class II patient who had experienced two-year camouflaged orthodontic treatment but was still unsatisfied with his facial aesthetics. A combined surgical/orthodontic treatment was then carried out. The maxillary incisors were re-positioned and proclined in the alveolar bone, the overjet was increased, and a space was created for orthognathic surgery, including maxillary impaction, anterior maxillary back-setting, and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy to correct his skeletal anteroposterior discrepancy. Orthognathic surgery should be considered the first option when a patient’s chief complaint is about his facial aesthetics and there is severe skeletal deformity. When choosing orthodontic camouflage, orthodontists must be cautious that unfavorable soft tissue changes might occur. After an unsatisfactory orthodontic camouflage treatment, orthodontic and orthognathic treatment can still be used in severe adult skeletal class II malocclusion.
