Top 5 Orthognathic surgery Doctors in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Orthognathic surgery means surgery on the jaw bones to change their position. It is usually considered when the bite, chewing, speech or facial balance cannot be corrected by orthodontic treatment alone. The surgery is normally planned by a team, with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and an orthodontist working together. Braces or aligners often come before and after the operation.

Consider booking a consultation if you notice:

• Difficulty biting or chewing, or teeth that do not meet properly
• A jaw that sits clearly out of line with the rest of the face
• Jaw pain, clicking or locking linked to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
• Breathing or sleep problems that a doctor has linked to jaw position

This is general information, not a diagnosis. Only an examination and imaging can show whether surgery is suitable for you.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department straight away if you have any of these:

• Bleeding that does not stop with firm pressure
• Trouble breathing or swallowing
• Swelling of the face, neck or floor of the mouth that is getting quickly worse
• High fever with increasing pain or swelling after surgery
• Sudden new weakness of the face, arms or legs

How to choose among the doctors here

The five profiles on this page are all listed for orthognathic surgery, but the detail behind each one differs. Use these criteria to compare them.

• Check the service list. Each profile publishes its own services. Confirm that orthognathic or jaw surgery appears on the profile you are considering, and ask the clinic directly how they handle these cases.
• Look at the training shown. Compare the qualifications, years of experience and sub-specialties each profile publishes, and ask who would perform the surgery.
• Think about location. Three profiles are in Tabarbour, one is in Khalda and one is in Sweifieh, all in Amman. Choose the clinic you can reach comfortably for several follow-up visits.
• Ask about teamwork. Ask how the surgeon works with an orthodontist, and whether the clinic can arrange both.
• Do not rely on the order alone. The list is ranked by how complete each profile's information is. It does not measure outcomes.

What to expect at the first visit

A first consultation usually includes a history, an examination of the teeth, bite and jaw joint, and a review of any scans. Preparing well will make the visit more useful.

Bring:

• Any X-rays, panoramic images or 3D scans you already have
• Records from any previous orthodontic treatment or jaw surgery
• A list of current medicines and supplements
• Your medical history, including bleeding problems and allergies
• Your insurance card, if you plan to use insurance

Useful questions to ask:

• Who will plan the treatment, and how do you work with the orthodontist?
• How many visits will be needed before and after surgery?
• Where would the surgery take place, and who arranges the anaesthesia?
• What does recovery look like, including diet and time away from work?
• What does the consultation fee include?

Insurance, fees and booking

Before you book, confirm three things with the clinic: whether your insurer is accepted, what the consultation fee is, and whether the consultation is the only cost to expect at this stage.

• Insurers listed on the profiles: Arab Orient Insurance is listed for Dr. Yola Kovalenko and Dr. Mutasem Irdaisat. NatHealth and Med Service - The Specialized Company are listed for Dr. Mutasem Irdaisat.
• Consultation fees published on the profiles: Dr. Mohammad Arafat Hasan publishes a free consultation. Dr. Alaa Yaseen Al Zoubi publishes a fee of 10 JOD.
• Other fees: Ask each clinic for its consultation fee before booking, and ask whether surgery itself would be billed separately.
• Hours: Opening hours differ between clinics and some are shorter on Thursdays. Check the confirmed hours on each profile before you travel.

Ask for a written estimate if you are using insurance for a surgical plan.

Getting there

All five profiles are in Amman. Three are in Tabarbour (Dr. Mohammad Arafat Hasan, Dr. Yola Kovalenko and Dr. Mutasem Irdaisat), one is in Khalda (Dr. Alaa Yaseen Al Zoubi), and one is in Sweifieh (Dr. Samar Talafha). Use the address shown on each profile, and check the clinic's hours before you set out. A taxi or ride-hailing app is a practical option for most visits, and it is worth planning transport in advance for the day of any surgery, when you should not drive yourself home.
