How we chose this list

Every matching doctor profile in this country 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. Profiles marked “Featured” are shown first, in the display order set by the platform administration.

  • Approved reviews (number and average)20
  • Published years of experience (up to 25)15
  • Published qualifications10
  • Written professional biography8

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 this specialty or procedure?

Orthodontics treats the position of the teeth and how the upper and lower jaws meet. In children the aim is partly to guide growth while the jaws are still developing, which is why timing matters more than it does for most adults. A first orthodontic assessment is usually advised around the age of seven, when the permanent front teeth and first molars have come through and the bite can be judged.

An early visit does not mean early treatment. For many children the result is periodic monitoring, with the dentist checking growth at intervals. Some problems do benefit from acting sooner, including:

  • A reverse bite, where the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth when the mouth closes.
  • A narrow upper jaw that makes the jaw shift sideways when the teeth meet.
  • An impacted permanent tooth that has not come through.
  • Early loss of baby teeth.
  • Habits such as thumb sucking or tongue thrust that continue.

Book a visit sooner if your child has crowded or widely spaced teeth, teeth coming through out of line, difficulty biting or chewing, jaw clicking or discomfort, or habitually breathes through the mouth.

Seek urgent care now if breathing or swallowing is affected, if facial swelling is spreading, or if bleeding after a mouth injury does not stop. Call 911 in these cases. A child with fever together with tooth or face pain, or a tooth knocked out or broken in an injury, needs a dentist the same day.

How to choose among the doctors here

Start with what your child needs. Four profiles list Orthodontics among their subspecialties: Dr. Mohammad Arafat Hasan, Yola Kovalenko and Mutasem Irdaisat in Tabarbour, and Dr. Osama Ghazi Al Ziadat in Khalda. Arafat and Kovalenko also list braces among their services. Al Ziadat's profile lists Orthodontics as its only subspecialty, and the clinic is named as an orthodontics clinic. The services listed for Irdaisat centre on cleaning, preventive care and endodontic procedures, so ask about orthodontic options directly.

Useful criteria when comparing Orthodontics For Children Doctors in Jordan:

  • Child-focused training: check whether Pediatric Dentistry appears among the subspecialties or services.
  • Orthodontic qualifications: read the education and membership lines. The orthodontic training shown on Al Ziadat's profile is the most explicit on this list.
  • Location and hours: compare Tabarbour, Khalda, Gardens and general Amman listings against your school run and work day.
  • Reviews and verification: where approved reviews or platform verification are shown, treat them as one input. The order on this page reflects profile completeness, not treatment results.
  • Explanation of options: a good first visit should cover growth, the timing of any treatment and what monitoring involves.

What to expect at the first visit

The first assessment usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. The dentist will look at the teeth, gums and bite, check how the jaws move, and discuss growth and any habits. Radiographs and diagnostic records, such as photographs or models, may be taken if the dentist judges them necessary to plan.

Treatment for a child usually follows a sequence:

  • First visit and growth assessment.
  • Radiographs and diagnostic records.
  • Early guidance phase, if needed.
  • Fixed braces after the permanent teeth have erupted.
  • Retention and follow-up until growth ends.

Bring the child's previous dental records and any earlier X-rays, a list of medicines and known allergies, and any family history of bite problems if you know it. Write down your questions beforehand. Useful ones include whether treatment is needed now or monitoring is enough, what signs to watch for at home, how long each phase is expected to last, how often reviews are needed, and what retention involves afterwards.

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

Insurers are shown only where a profile lists them. Confirm with the clinic that your scheme covers orthodontic care for children specifically, because cover for braces can differ from cover for general dental work. Among these profiles, Dr. Mohammad Arafat Hasan publishes a free consultation, and Dr. Osama Ghazi Al Ziadat and Dr. Yousef Zamel each publish a consultation fee of 10 JOD. For any other profile, ask the clinic for the fee before the visit.

Confirm the hours shown on the entry, especially if you are travelling from outside the area. Ask whether the first assessment is charged separately from any treatment plan, what the total cost of braces would be, how payments are arranged, and what the cancellation policy is. Get the answers in writing where possible.

Getting there

The entries are grouped by the locations published on their profiles:

  • Tabarbour, Amman: Arafat Dental Clinics (Dr. Mohammad Arafat Hasan), and Zoom Dental Clinic (Yola Kovalenko and Mutasem Irdaisat).
  • Khalda, Amman: Dr Osama Ghazi Al Ziadat Orthodontics Clinic, Dr. Yousef Zamel Dental Clinic and iDentist Dental Care (Dr. Najla Maher Ghalayini).
  • Gardens, Amman: Gardens Dental Implant Center (Dr. Dania Adel Awwad).

Use the location shown on each entry to plan your route, and allow extra time at busy hours.

Checklist before you book

  • Check whether your child is around the age for a first assessment, or has one of the concerns listed above.
  • Confirm that the doctor's listed subspecialties or services include orthodontics or children's care.
  • Confirm the opening hours for the day you plan to visit.
  • Ask whether the first visit includes a growth assessment and whether radiographs will be needed.
  • Check with the clinic that your insurer covers orthodontic treatment for children.
  • Confirm the consultation fee and the cost range for any treatment plan.
  • Bring the child's dental records, medicine list and any earlier X-rays.
  • Save 911 for breathing, swallowing, spreading facial swelling or bleeding that will not stop.

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of Orthodontics For Children Doctors in Jordan chosen?
Profiles are ordered by a 100-point score of how complete and checkable their published information is. The score covers platform verification, approved reviews, years of experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, opening hours, consultation fee and map location. Featured placement does not change the score. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
At what age should a child first see an orthodontist?
A first orthodontic assessment is usually advised around the age of seven, when the permanent front teeth and first molars have come through. An early visit does not automatically mean treatment. For many children the outcome is monitoring as the jaws grow, and the dentist decides on any next step.
Do all children need early orthodontic treatment?
No. Problems that may benefit from earlier action include a reverse bite, a narrow upper jaw that shifts the jaw on closing, an impacted permanent tooth, early loss of baby teeth, and habits such as thumb sucking or tongue thrust. Whether treatment is needed for a particular child is a decision for the dentist after an examination.
Which listed doctors mention orthodontics?
Four profiles list Orthodontics among their subspecialties: Dr. Mohammad Arafat Hasan, Yola Kovalenko and Mutasem Irdaisat in Tabarbour, and Dr. Osama Ghazi Al Ziadat in Khalda. Arafat and Kovalenko also list braces among their services. Confirm the current options and who will treat your child when you book.
What does a first consultation cost?
Dr. Mohammad Arafat Hasan publishes a free consultation. Dr. Osama Ghazi Al Ziadat and Dr. Yousef Zamel each publish a fee of 10 JOD. Other profiles on this page do not publish a fee, so ask the clinic before booking. Treatment costs for braces should be requested as a full written plan.
How long does orthodontic treatment for a child take?
The first assessment usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Treatment phases commonly span months to years, depending on how the child's jaws grow. Retention and follow-up often continue until growth is complete. Your dentist can give a more specific expected timeline after examining your child.
What should I do in a dental emergency?
Call 911 if your child has trouble breathing or swallowing, facial swelling that is spreading, or bleeding after a mouth injury that does not stop. For a knocked-out or broken tooth, or a fever with tooth or face pain, contact a dentist the same day. Keep the tooth moist and bring it to the appointment if one was knocked out.
Why do some profiles appear first?
Profiles marked “Featured” appear first, in the display order set by the platform administration. They are a featured placement, not a measure of clinical quality; the rest of the list follows the published profile score. A featured profile shown on a district page may practise elsewhere in Amman — check the address on its card.
