Sounds like the wheels need re-balancing - that would cause the vehicle to 'pull' to one side during braking.
It sounds as if your vehicle might have suffered some serious damage when you hit the curb, especially since you hit the right tire but the vehicle pulls to the left. The fact that your vehicle shakes when braking means it may be unsafe to drive. It is possible that the brakes could fail completely when you need them the most. Have your vehicle inspected and repaired by a qualified mechanic immediately. After that, stop hitting curbs.
a safety system which prevents the wheel on a motor vehicle from locking while braking.
When driving the ABS system doe not operate. During an attempt to stop pressure on the brake pedal activates the system but it does not always do anything. Only when a wheel skids does the system turn on. A wheel that is still turning while braking is more effective at slowing the vehicle. (look up Kinetic versus Static friction) When the ABS detects a skidding wheel it pulses the pressure to each wheel in a sequence. The pulsing helps keep the wheel turning and slows the vehicle better.

You need an alignment.
the brake rotors are warped. resurface or replace rotors. if the vehicle shakes without applying the brakes, check tire balance.
brake pad loose in caliper, replace fitting kit, check for missing spring shim.
Could be a wheel bearing, better have it checked out soon before the wheel departs from the vehicle.

The rotor is a part of the disc braking system. It is a round, shiny metal part of the wheel that the brake pads squeeze to arrest the spin of the wheel, which slows or stops the vehicle.
