Clear aligner treatment · Union, NJ
Invisalign in Union, NJ
Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners instead of metal brackets. At Union Family Dental, orthodontist Dr. Brahmbhatt creates custom Invisalign plans, with many cases completed in approximately 12 to 18 months.
The essentials
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign uses a planned sequence of transparent plastic trays that apply controlled pressure to move selected teeth gradually.
Each aligner is worn for the prescribed period before moving to the next in the series. The trays are removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing, but consistent daily wear is necessary for predictable progress.
Dr. Brahmbhatt and the Union Family Dental team in Union, NJ use digital records to diagnose alignment and bite concerns, preview planned movement, and monitor treatment.

Is it right for you?
Is Invisalign right for me?
Clear aligners can treat many mild to moderate alignment and bite concerns when the patient can wear them consistently.
- You have crowding, spacing, or teeth that shifted after previous braces
- You prefer a removable, less visible orthodontic appliance
- You can wear aligners approximately 22 hours each day
- Your teeth and gums are healthy enough for orthodontic movement
Severe rotations, larger bite discrepancies, or inconsistent wear may make braces more predictable. An orthodontic consultation confirms candidacy.
