How we chose this list
Every matching doctor 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. Profiles marked “Featured” are shown first, in the display order set by the platform administration.

When do you need an orthodontist?
Orthodontics corrects teeth that are crooked, crowded or spaced, and bites where the upper and lower jaws do not meet as they should. Treatment can use:
- fixed metal braces
- ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces
- clear aligners such as Invisalign
- lingual braces hidden behind the teeth
- removable appliances for some children
It is not only cosmetic. A poor bite can make chewing harder, make teeth difficult to clean and put uneven wear on some teeth.
Reasons people commonly book an orthodontic assessment include:
- Crowded, overlapping or noticeably spaced teeth
- Upper or lower front teeth that stick out, or a lower jaw that sits forward
- Difficulty biting or chewing, or teeth that do not meet when the mouth is closed
- A deep bite, open bite or crossbite noticed by your dentist
- Baby teeth lost very early or very late, or adult teeth that have not come through (for example, impacted canines)
- A child around 7 years old. Many orthodontic societies suggest a first check at this age, so growth and the arrival of adult teeth can be monitored, even if treatment is not needed yet.
Adults can have orthodontic treatment too. Healthy gums and teeth matter more than age, so your general dentist may treat decay or gum disease first.
When it is urgent
Most orthodontic problems are not emergencies. A poking wire or loose bracket can usually wait for a call to your clinic, and orthodontic wax can cover sharp edges in the meantime.
Seek urgent care, and call 911 in Jordan if needed, for:
- A facial or jaw injury, especially if the teeth no longer meet properly or the jaw cannot open or close
- A knocked-out adult tooth. This needs dental attention as soon as possible, ideally within an hour; keep the tooth moist, for example in milk, and handle it by the crown.
- Rapidly spreading swelling of the face or neck, swelling with fever, or any difficulty breathing or swallowing
How to choose among the doctors here
There is no single list of the best orthodontists in Amman that fits every patient. The right choice depends on the problem, the type of appliance you want, and practical issues such as distance and timing. Use the profiles above with these points in mind.
Orthodontic training. Some profiles publish dedicated orthodontic qualifications, such as a Master of Orthodontics or the Jordanian Board in Orthodontics. Others are dentists who list orthodontics among several areas of work. Ask directly who will plan your treatment, who will see you at follow-up visits, and what their orthodontic training is.
The appliance you are considering. Not every clinic offers every option. If you want clear aligners, ceramic braces or lingual braces, confirm that the clinic provides them before you book. Ask whether your case is suitable for them; that can only be decided after an examination.
Jaw-related problems. Some severe bite problems in adults are managed with orthodontics combined with jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery). A few profiles here list orthognathic or TMJ surgery among their services. If your dentist has mentioned a skeletal jaw problem, ask how surgical and orthodontic planning would be coordinated.
Children. For a young child, ask whether the clinic sees children regularly. Also ask how they monitor growth and when they would recommend starting or delaying treatment.
Distance and hours. Treatment with braces or aligners usually runs for many months, often a year or more, with check-ups every few weeks. A clinic near home, school or work, with hours that fit your routine, makes those visits far easier. Hours on this page vary: some clinics open into the evening, while others close earlier on Thursday or open only in the afternoon on certain days.
Information you can check. Verification badges, published qualifications and approved reviews help you see what each profile has documented. They do not measure treatment results.
What to expect at the first visit
A first orthodontic appointment is usually an assessment rather than treatment. The orthodontist will:
- ask about your concerns and your medical and dental history
- examine your teeth, bite and jaw movement
- often take photographs and X-rays, such as a panoramic X-ray (OPG) or a side view of the skull
- possibly take impressions or a digital scan
You may be given a treatment plan on the day, or asked to return once records have been reviewed.
What to bring:
- Any recent dental X-rays and notes from your general dentist
- A list of current medicines and any medical conditions or allergies
- Your insurance card and ID
- For children, a parent or legal guardian who can consent to treatment
Questions worth asking:
- What exactly is the problem, and what happens if it is left untreated?
- Which appliance options are suitable for me, and what are the trade-offs?
- Roughly how long will treatment last, and how often will I need to come in?
- Will any teeth need to be removed first?
- What happens after treatment? Will I need retainers, and for how long?
- Who do I contact if a bracket breaks or an aligner does not fit?
Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment
Two profiles on this page publish a consultation fee: Dr. Mohammad Arafat Hasan and Dr. Mohammad Ahmad Altarawneh both list the consultation as free. For other clinics, ask about the consultation charge when you call.
A consultation is only the start. Before agreeing to treatment, ask for a written plan that sets out:
- the full cost of treatment
- what is included, such as records, X-rays, adjustment visits and retainers
- the cost of replacing lost aligners or repairing broken appliances
- whether instalment payments are possible
Several profiles list accepted insurers:
- Arab Orient Insurance (Dr. Yola Kovalenko, Dr. Mutasem Irdaisat and Dr. Ayman Al Shoubaki)
- NatHealth and Med Service (Dr. Mutasem Irdaisat)
Accepting an insurer does not mean orthodontics is covered under your policy. Many dental plans limit or exclude orthodontic treatment, especially for adults, so check with your insurer and ask whether pre-approval is required.
Getting there
Amman is a large, spread-out city of around 5 million residents. Choosing a clinic close to your daily routine can save a lot of time over a long course of treatment.
On this page, two clinics are in Khalda, one is in Shmeisani and one is in Abdoun; the rest are in the areas shown on each profile. Residents of Dabouq, Tla' Al-Ali or the Gardens may find Khalda convenient. Those living near the 7th Circle or Sweifieh may find Abdoun or Shmeisani within easy reach, and people in Jubeiha should compare travel times across the listed areas. Use the map location on each profile, allow for rush-hour traffic, and ask the clinic about parking.
For emergencies such as facial trauma, Amman's major hospitals include Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital.
Checklist before you book
- Note your main concern: crowding, spacing, bite, jaw position or a child's growth check
- Check the clinician's published orthodontic qualifications and ask who will supervise treatment
- Confirm the clinic offers the appliance you are interested in
- Compare the confirmed opening hours with your school or work timetable
- Ask about the consultation charge and request a written estimate for the full treatment
- Check whether your insurance covers orthodontics and whether pre-approval is needed
- Gather previous X-rays, your medication list and your insurance card
- Arrange for a parent or guardian to attend with children
- Ask about retainers and aftercare before you start
Frequently asked questions
How was this list of orthodontists in Amman chosen?
The nine profiles come from 24 on ClinicsJo that list orthodontics in Amman. They are ordered by a 100-point score for how complete and checkable their published information is. The score counts things like platform verification, approved reviews, published experience, qualifications, biography, services, insurers, confirmed hours, fee and map location. Featured profiles appear first with a badge. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
Is this a list of the best orthodontists in Amman?
No. The page does not rank clinicians by skill or results, and no directory can promise outcomes. It gathers profiles with the most complete published information so you can compare qualifications, services, districts, hours and insurers side by side. The most suitable orthodontist for you depends on your bite, your preferred appliance, your budget and your location, which is best judged after an examination.
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
Many orthodontic societies suggest a first assessment around age 7. By then, some adult teeth have usually come through and the orthodontist can spot developing crowding, crossbites or jaw differences. Most children do not need treatment at that age; the visit is often about monitoring. Earlier checks make sense if your dentist notices a problem or if baby teeth are lost very early or very late.
Are clear aligners better than braces?
Neither is better for everyone. Clear aligners are less visible and removable, but they only work if worn for the hours the orthodontist advises, usually most of the day. Fixed braces, whether metal or ceramic, work continuously and can suit some complex tooth movements. Suitability depends on your teeth and bite, so ask the orthodontist to explain which options fit your case and why.
How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
It varies with the problem and the appliance. Many courses of braces or aligners last from several months to around two years, with check-ups every few weeks. Afterwards, retainers are needed to stop teeth drifting back, sometimes long-term. Your orthodontist can give an estimate after taking records, but treatment time can change depending on how your teeth respond and how closely instructions are followed.
Does health insurance in Jordan cover braces?
It depends on your policy. Some clinics on this page list accepted insurers, including Arab Orient Insurance, NatHealth and Med Service. However, accepting an insurer does not guarantee that orthodontic treatment is covered. Many dental plans limit or exclude orthodontics, particularly for adults. Contact your insurer before starting, ask about pre-approval, and get a written estimate from the clinic.
What should I do if a bracket or wire breaks?
A loose bracket or poking wire is usually not an emergency. Cover any sharp edge with orthodontic wax, avoid hard or sticky foods, and contact your clinic to arrange a repair. Do not try to cut wires yourself unless the clinic advises it. If there is facial injury, severe swelling, fever or trouble breathing or swallowing, seek urgent care or call 911.
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.
