Braces and Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment corrects crowded, crooked, or misaligned teeth and bite problems using braces or clear aligners. Union Family Dental offers traditional braces and clear aligner options for children, teens, and adults.
The essentials
What is orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontics uses controlled forces to move teeth and guide the bite into healthier, more functional positions.
Traditional braces use brackets and wires fixed to the teeth. Clear aligners use removable trays. The appropriate appliance depends on the patient’s growth, tooth positions, bite, treatment complexity, and ability to follow instructions.
Dr. Brahmbhatt and the Union Family Dental team in Union, NJ diagnose alignment and bite concerns and create a plan for children, teens, or adults.

Is it right for you?
Am I a good candidate?
Braces can treat a broad range of alignment and bite problems in children, teens, and adults with healthy teeth and gums.
- You have significant crowding, spacing, or rotated teeth
- Your bite needs correction or jaw growth should be monitored
- Your case requires movements beyond the predictable range of clear aligners
- You can maintain careful hygiene and attend adjustment visits
Decay and active gum disease should be controlled before tooth movement. A consultation confirms candidacy and timing.
