About

Dr. Daniel Flores loves practicing Orthodontics in Fallbrook and Escondido, CA., and servicing the North San Diego County community. The entire team at Flores Orthodontics believes that creating an amazing smile with a functional bite and patent nasal airway can change and improve each patient's life. As an orthodontic specialist, Dr. Flores is trained to recognize various characteristics of a malocclusion or a dentofacial deformity, define the nature of the problem, including the etiology, if possible, and design a custom treatment strategy, based on the specific needs and desires of the patient. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment may include orthopedic appliances to obtain orthopedic changes in the shape and position of the upper and lower jaws and correct a bad bite.  To align the teeth, orthodontic braces, which are made from stainless steel or an aesthetic ceramic material, are bonded to the teeth. Arch wires, made from nickel titanium, beta titanium and stainless steel, are then used to interact with the braces to move teeth into their ideal positions. Being advanced in the field and board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, Dr. Flores also uses Invisalign or other progressive clear aligners and/or behind the teeth lingual braces, which are virtually invisible, that have been designed to align a patient's teeth and create an amazing smile and functional bite.  Believing, that a patent nasal airway is critical to normal and balanced cranio-facial development and long term stability, Dr. Flores will work with other dental and medical specialists to treat an obstructed nasal airway for patients of all ages and may improve sleep pattern, snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, swallow pattern, allergies, and overall health.

  • I wear my retainer, so why are my teeth still shifting?

    Try wearing your retainers full time for a while. Take them off to eat and brush your teeth. Only drink water with them in your mouth. Rinse or brush your teeth before placing your retainers back in after eating. After 6-12 months of full time wear, your teeth should be more stable and you can try to wear the retainers at night. Good luck! Daniel A. Flores, DDS, MS READ MORE
