Top 5 Orthodontists in Tabarbour 2026

When do you need orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontics treats teeth that are crowded, spaced, rotated or out of line. It also treats bites where the upper and lower jaws do not meet well, such as an overbite, underbite, crossbite or open bite.

The main options are: - fixed braces, in metal or tooth-coloured ceramic - clear aligners such as Invisalign - removable appliances for children who are still growing

Straighter teeth can be easier to clean, and a corrected bite can make chewing more comfortable. Which option, if any, is suitable can only be decided after a clinical assessment.

Signs worth booking an assessment:

• Crowded, overlapping or widely spaced teeth
• Difficulty biting or chewing, or teeth that meet unevenly
• A lower or upper jaw that sits noticeably forward
• Baby teeth lost very early or very late, or adult teeth coming through out of position
• Thumb-sucking or similar habits continuing into school age
• Clicking, pain or stiffness around the jaw joint

Orthodontic societies generally suggest a first check around age 7. At that age the dentist can see how the permanent teeth and jaws are developing. This visit does not mean treatment will start; often it simply means monitoring growth.

When it is urgent

Orthodontic problems are rarely emergencies, but some situations are. Call 911 or go to an emergency department for: - facial swelling that spreads or comes with fever - swelling that makes breathing or swallowing difficult - a blow to the face or jaw with a possible fracture - bleeding from the mouth that will not stop

A loose bracket or a wire poking the cheek is not usually an emergency. Contact the treating clinic promptly and follow its advice.

How to choose among the doctors here

Each dentist on this page is based in Tabarbour and lists orthodontics among their sub-specialties. Their published services differ, so match each profile to what you need.

• Type of appliance. If you want clear aligners, check which profiles mention them. Dr. Mohammad Arafat Hasan lists metal, ceramic and clear orthodontics and a 2020 Invisalign certification. Dr. Yola Kovalenko lists orthodontic braces.
• Jaw involvement. A marked difference between the jaws sometimes needs braces combined with jaw surgery. Dr. Kovalenko's published services include orthognathic and TMJ surgery. Her profile may be relevant if a surgical opinion has been suggested.
• Children or adults. For a child, ask about growth assessment and removable appliances. Several profiles list pediatric dentistry or treatment of decay in children.
• Hours. Orthodontic treatment usually means regular visits over many months, so a schedule you can keep matters.
• Arafat Dental Clinics: Saturday to Thursday, 10:00–22:00
• Zoom Dental Clinic: 10:00–19:00 Saturday to Wednesday, 10:00–17:00 on Thursday
• Dr. Al Khwaja: evenings, 17:00–20:00, Saturday to Wednesday
• Dr. Jafar: 10:00–17:00, Saturday to Thursday
• Language. Arabic and English appear on several profiles, and the two Zoom Dental Clinic dentists also list Ukrainian.
• Checkable information. Profiles differ in platform verification, published experience and qualifications. The comparison table on this page shows each profile's status.

The order of this list reflects how complete each profile is, not clinical skill. If you searched for the best orthodontists in Tabarbour, compare the published details here first. Then ask direct questions at a consultation, including what training the dentist has in orthodontics specifically.

What to expect at the first visit

The first appointment is usually an assessment. Expect: - questions about your dental and medical history - an examination of your teeth, bite and jaw movement - often photographs, X-rays such as a panoramic (OPG) view, and impressions or a digital scan

Some clinics present a treatment plan the same day; others ask you to come back once the records have been reviewed.

What to bring:

• Your ID and insurance card, if you have one
• Any recent dental X-rays or reports
• A list of your medicines and medical conditions
• For a child: a parent or guardian, and notes on habits such as thumb-sucking or mouth breathing

Questions to ask:

• What exactly is the problem, and what happens if I wait?
• Which appliance options are possible in my case, and what are their pros and cons?
• Roughly how long will treatment take, and how often are follow-up visits?
• Will I need extractions, fillings or gum treatment first?
• What retainer will I need afterwards, and for how long?
• Who will carry out the adjustments at each visit?

Cleaning becomes more demanding with braces or aligners. Ask the clinic to show you how to brush around brackets and how to care for aligners.

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

Only one profile here publishes a consultation fee: Arafat Dental Clinics lists the consultation as free. For the others, ask when booking whether the first assessment is charged and what it includes, such as X-rays or scans.

On insurance: - Dr. Yola Kovalenko lists Arab Orient Insurance. - Dr. Mutasem Irdaisat lists Arab Orient Insurance, NatHealth and Med Service — The Specialized Company.

Insurers often treat orthodontics differently from general dental care. Check directly with your insurer whether orthodontic treatment is covered, whether there are age limits, and whether pre-approval is needed.

Before agreeing to treatment, ask the clinic for:

• A written total cost and what it covers: appliances, follow-up visits, retainers, and replacing broken brackets or lost aligners
• The payment schedule
• What happens to the cost if treatment runs longer than planned
• The policy on missed appointments, or on transferring treatment if you move

Getting there

All five profiles are located in Tabarbour, Amman. Because orthodontic care means repeated visits, travel time adds up. If you live elsewhere in the capital, such as Shmeisani, the Gardens, Jubeiha, Sweifieh or Khalda, factor the journey into your choice.

Open the map location on each profile and confirm the building and floor when you book. Dr. Al Khwaja's centre is in Al Burj Building 79B on the main street in Tabarbour. Dr. Jafar's clinic is beside Al Najma Sweets. Dr. Kovalenko and Dr. Irdaisat both work at Zoom Dental Clinic.

If a jaw problem needs hospital-based care, your dentist will advise on a referral. Amman's major hospitals include Jordan University Hospital, Al-Bashir Hospital and King Hussein Medical Center.
