*puts on CC hat like in the SW Thread*
In the now concluded Trek Litverse it states that there are both Klingons impacted by the augment virus and 'regular' Klingons existing during the 23rd century simultaneously. The smooth foreheads are generally looked down on, so that's why they mostly served together during that period and why we didn't see the ridges till the movies. Also the virus must have been cured because of how the TOS 3 Klingons look in DS9.
(also the augment virus is one of my least favorite things in canon right up there with a spore drive. it's not something that needed to be explained in canon)
