How we chose this list

Every matching clinic profile in this area was scored out of 100 for how complete and checkable its published information is, and the highest scores appear here in order. Featured placement does not change a profile's score, and the score does not measure treatment quality or outcomes — it tells you how much you can check before you call.

  • Profile verified by the platform15
  • Approved reviews (number and average)20
  • Written clinic description8
  • Logo and photos10
  • Published services10
  • Doctors linked to the clinic10
  • Listed insurers7
  • Confirmed opening hours8
  • Map location5
  • Years since establishment (up to 20)5
  • Official website or account2

Ties are broken by the number of approved reviews, then published years of experience. Confirm the service, branch, appointment, fees and insurance coverage with the practice before visiting.

When do you need orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontics corrects teeth that are crowded, spaced or out of line, and jaws that do not meet properly. Treatment can use several kinds of appliance:

  • fixed metal braces
  • ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces
  • removable appliances for growing children
  • lingual braces fixed behind the teeth
  • clear aligners such as Invisalign

Which option is suitable depends on an examination. No appliance is right for everyone.

Reasons people commonly book an orthodontic assessment include:

  • Crowded, overlapping or widely spaced teeth
  • Upper teeth that sit far in front of the lower teeth, or lower teeth that close in front of the upper ones
  • A lower or upper jaw that looks noticeably forward
  • Difficulty biting or chewing, or teeth that meet unevenly
  • Baby teeth lost very early or very late, or adult teeth coming in out of position
  • A child around age 7. Many orthodontic societies suggest a first check at this age, because some problems are easier to guide while the jaws are still growing.

Adults can also have orthodontic treatment. Healthy gums and teeth matter more than age, so a dentist will usually check for decay and gum disease first.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Most brace problems are not emergencies. A loose bracket or a wire that pokes the cheek is usually handled by calling the clinic.

Some symptoms need urgent attention. Call 911 or go to an emergency department if you have:

  • swelling of the face or neck that is spreading, especially with fever
  • difficulty swallowing or breathing
  • a significant blow to the face or jaw
  • bleeding that will not stop
  • an adult tooth knocked out

How to choose among the clinics here

If you are searching for the best orthodontic clinics in Aqaba, it helps to know that this list measures profile completeness, not skill or results. Use these practical points to narrow it down:

  • Who carries out the orthodontic work. Each clinic lists orthodontics, and each profile links one dentist whose listed specialty is Dentistry. Ask who will plan and supervise your treatment, and about their orthodontic training.
  • Which appliance types are offered. The profiles publish orthodontic treatment in general terms. Ask directly whether the clinic offers metal, ceramic or lingual braces, clear aligners, or removable appliances for children.
  • Hours that fit regular follow-ups. Orthodontic care usually means adjustment or review visits for many months, often around once a month. The hours vary a lot:
  • Dr. Mohammad Al Sawa's clinic is open late and on Friday afternoons.
  • Kamil Rizq Dental Clinic opens only in the evening.
  • Dr. Shahed Hijazeen's clinics keep daytime hours.
  • Care for children. Sara Bani Hani Dental Clinic and Dr. Shahed Hijazeen Dental Clinics list pediatric dentistry as a specialty. All five list children's dental care as a service.
  • Related dental needs. Orthodontic plans sometimes involve extractions, fillings or treating gum inflammation first. Every clinic here lists general dental services, so you may be able to handle these in one place. Confirm this when you book.

What to expect at the first visit

A first orthodontic consultation is usually an assessment rather than treatment. The dentist typically:

  • examines your teeth, bite and jaw
  • may take photographs
  • may take X-rays, impressions or a digital scan
  • explains the options

Treatment often starts at a later appointment.

What to bring:

  • A list of medicines and any medical conditions or allergies
  • Recent dental X-rays or records from a previous dentist, if you have them
  • Any old retainer or appliance
  • Your insurance card and ID
  • For children, a parent or guardian who can give consent and answer health questions

Questions worth asking:

  • What exactly is the problem, and what happens if I wait?
  • Which appliance options suit my case, and why?
  • How long is treatment likely to take, and how often will I need visits?
  • What does wearing a retainer afterwards involve?
  • Who do I contact if a wire breaks or a bracket comes loose?

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Three clinic profiles each list the same twelve insurers:

  • Dr. Loures Qamar Dental Center
  • Sara Bani Hani Dental Clinic
  • Dr. Mohammad Al Sawa Dental Clinic

Dr. Shahed Hijazeen Dental Clinics also list these twelve. They include MedGulf, MetLife Alico, Arabia Insurance Company Jordan (AICJ), Newton Insurance, The Islamic Insurance Company and several plans listed with NatHealth.

A clinic accepting your insurer does not mean orthodontics is covered. Many policies treat it differently from routine dental care, and some limit it by age or require prior approval.

Before booking, ask:

  • Is orthodontic treatment covered under my specific policy, and is pre-approval needed?
  • What is the fee for the first consultation?
  • What is the estimated total cost of the full plan, and is that estimate available in writing?
  • Does the total include X-rays, retainers and follow-up visits?
  • Is payment taken in instalments over the course of treatment?
  • How much notice is needed to reschedule a follow-up?

Getting there

All five clinics are in Downtown Aqaba, in Aqaba city:

  • Dr. Loures Qamar Dental Center: Ar-Rashid Street
  • Dr. Shahed Hijazeen Dental Clinics: Al Rasheed Street
  • Sara Bani Hani Dental Clinic: Al-Hussein Bin Ali Street, opposite the Islamic Hospital
  • Dr. Mohammad Al Sawa Dental Clinic: the city centre market, opposite the bus complex, which may help if you travel by bus
  • Kamil Rizq Dental Clinic: Al Batraa Street

If you live in Al-Quwaira, Wadi Rum, Al-Disah or Wadi Araba, remember that orthodontic treatment means repeated trips over many months. Choose a clinic whose hours match the times you can realistically travel, and ask whether visits can be spaced to suit your journey.

For a dental or facial emergency outside clinic hours, Aqaba's hospitals include:

  • Prince Hashim bin Abdullah II Military Hospital
  • Aqaba Modern Hospital
  • the Islamic Hospital
  • Aqaba University Hospital

Checklist before you book

  • Confirm the clinic currently offers the type of orthodontic appliance you are interested in
  • Ask who will plan and supervise your treatment, and about their orthodontic training
  • Check the confirmed hours against your school, work or travel schedule for monthly follow-ups
  • Call your insurer to confirm orthodontic coverage and any pre-approval
  • Ask for the consultation fee and a written estimate of the full plan
  • Gather your medical history, medicines list and any previous dental X-rays
  • For a child, plan for a parent or guardian to attend
  • Ask what to do if an appliance breaks between visits
  • Know the urgent warning signs and the emergency number 911

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of orthodontic clinics in Aqaba chosen and ordered?
The list includes the five clinics in Aqaba on ClinicsJo that publish orthodontic treatment. They are ordered by a 100-point profile-completeness score. The score rewards platform verification, approved reviews, a written description, photos, published services, linked doctors, listed insurers, confirmed hours, a map location, years since establishment and an official account. It does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
At what age should my child have an orthodontic check?
Many orthodontic societies suggest a first assessment around age 7. By then a dentist can see how the adult teeth and jaws are developing. Most children seen at this age do not need braces straight away. The visit is mainly to spot problems that are easier to guide during growth. Ask your family dentist if you are unsure whether a check is needed.
Do these Aqaba clinics offer clear aligners or Invisalign?
The five profiles publish orthodontic treatment in general terms and do not specify which appliance types they use. If you are interested in clear aligners, ceramic braces, lingual braces or removable appliances for children, ask the clinic directly when you book. Whether aligners suit you depends on an examination, because some bite problems are better handled with other appliances.
Does health insurance cover braces in Jordan?
It depends entirely on your policy. Four of the clinics here list twelve insurers each. However, orthodontic treatment is often covered differently from routine dental care, and some policies limit it by age or require pre-approval. Call your insurer before starting treatment. Ask the clinic for a written estimate so you can check what will be covered and what you will pay yourself.
Can I get orthodontic appointments in the evening or on Friday in Aqaba?
Yes, according to the confirmed hours. Dr. Mohammad Al Sawa Dental Clinic is open Saturday to Thursday until 21:00 and on Friday from 14:00 to 22:00. Kamil Rizq Dental Clinic opens only in the evening, 17:00–21:00, Saturday to Thursday. Dr. Loures Qamar Dental Center stays open until 20:00 from Saturday to Wednesday. Check that follow-up slots are available at the times you need.
What should I do if a brace wire breaks or pokes my cheek?
A loose bracket or a poking wire is usually not an emergency. Contact your clinic to arrange a repair, and avoid sticky or hard foods in the meantime. Seek urgent care through 911 or an emergency department if you have spreading facial swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing or breathing, heavy bleeding, or a significant injury to the face or jaw.
Am I too old for braces as an adult?
Adults can have orthodontic treatment. What matters most is the health of your teeth, gums and supporting bone, not your age. A dentist will usually check for decay and gum disease before starting, and may suggest treating these first. Treatment time and options vary from person to person, so an assessment is the way to find out what is possible in your case.
