Do You Need Orthognathic Surgery?

Orthognathic surgery is needed when the jaws don't meet correctly and / or teeth don't seem to fit with the jaws. Teeth are straightened with orthodontics and corrective jaw surgery repositions a misaligned jaw. 

This not only improves facial appearance, but also ensures that teeth meet correctly and function properly. Dr. Swanson is the only specialty board certified doctor who can perform this procedure in Effingham County.

Difficulty in the Following Areas Should be Evaluated

  • Difficulty in chewing, biting or swallowing
  • Speech problems
  • Chronic jaw pain
  • TMJ pain
  • Open bite
  • Protruding jaw
  • Breathing problem


If you are a candidate for corrective jaw surgery, Dr. Swanson is the maxillofacial surgeon Mount Vernon, IL residents recommend. He will work closely with your dentist and orthodontist during your treatment. The surgery can move your teeth and jaws into a new position that results in a more attractive, functional, and healthy dental-facial relationship.
