Clay County Orthodontist · 32068

Orthodontist in Middleburg.

For Middleburg families, Oasis Orthodontics is the nearest specialist orthodontic practice, 15 minutes up CR-218 and across Black Creek. We’ve been quietly serving Middleburg families for over two decades, and we schedule appointment blocks around Middleburg High and Wilkinson football schedules because we know the drill. Most Middleburg patients take CR-218 east to US-17, then a short stretch south to Business Center Dr. The drive crosses Black Creek and the rural stretch east of the historical park before it opens up into the Fleming Island business corridor. Families further south in the Tynes and Azalea Ridge neighborhoods sometimes take Blanding Blvd to County Road 220 instead, which is closer to twenty minutes but avoids 218 entirely during the Wilkinson dismissal bottleneck. The reason Middleburg families come to us instead of crossing into Jacksonville is straightforward: a Jacksonville specialist means I-295 north from Blanding, which during any after-school window is forty minutes to an hour. Our way is 15 minutes on a state road, two-lane most of the way, no bridge, no interstate, no toll.

Why Middleburg chooses Oasis, fig. 02

Built around Middleburg.

We did not parachute into Clay County. We have been here since 1997, treating Middleburg families ten minutes up the road.

Middleburg has grown substantially in the last 15 years, but most orthodontic specialists still sit in Orange Park or Fleming Island. We treat more Middleburg kids than any other specialist practice in the county because Middleburg families don’t want to drive to Jacksonville, and they shouldn’t have to. A typical Middleburg family looks like this: a Wilkinson Junior eighth-grader gets picked up at 3:00, mom or dad takes CR-218 east while the kid does homework in the passenger seat, and they’re in the chair for a bracket adjustment by 3:25. On the way home they swing by the Middleburg Publix on Blanding for groceries and the whole thing took less than two hours. We also see a steady rotation of Middleburg High marching band families during fall, where the appointment has to land on a Tuesday or Thursday because Monday-Wednesday-Friday are band rehearsal, and Saturday is competition. Our scheduler keeps a mental map of Middleburg High activity calendars by season and will usually offer two slots without you having to explain why Wednesday won’t work.

From Middleburg, it’s CR-218 east to US-17 south, then onto Business Center Dr in Fleming Island. Most families make it in 15 minutes or under if you hit 218 before the afternoon school rush. We schedule around Middleburg High dismissal (3:00 PM) and the Lake Asbury / Wilkinson Junior bus routes.

A representative sample of recent verified reviews from across our patient base. Some reviewers reference our former name, the practice rebranded to Oasis Orthodontics on May 1, 2026.

I cannot say enough about how amazing this entire practice is. I have been coming here since my first born son got his braces and he is now 31 years old. All 7 of my children have had their braces here, and I wouldn’t have chosen anyone else. The entire office is kind, patient and always happy, you can tell by their demeanor that it is a fantastic place to work. All 3 doctors are funny, and very knowledgeable. They are very easy going and take their time with everyone, both parents and patients. I would never choose any other orthodontist than Aiosa, Hoffman and Montoya.Amy M. · Multi-generational
Our daughter is a patient at Aiosa and Hoffman. She has a very complicated, 3 to 4 year ortho treatment plan (poor thing) and other practices didn’t want to take her on and referred us to A&H. We’re a little over a year in and couldn’t be happier. They’re courteous, friendly, and quick. All our questions get answered and best of all, our anxious 12 year old daughter leaves happy. Highly recommend them.Nicholas B. · Complex case · Phase 2

Two specialists. One waiting room.

Both ortho-residency trained. Both at every adjustment, every consultation, every retainer fitting.

Questions, fig. 06

Orthodontist in Middleburg. FAQ.

Is there an orthodontist in Middleburg?
There are general dentists in Middleburg who offer clear aligners, but the nearest orthodontic specialist (ortho residency-trained, specialist-only practice) is Oasis Orthodontics in Fleming Island, 15 minutes up CR-218.
How do I get to your office from Middleburg?
CR-218 east, merge onto US-17 south, then onto Business Center Dr in Fleming Island. Total drive is usually 15 minutes, sometimes 18 during peak school pickup.
Can you work around Middleburg High football / marching band schedules?
Yes, and we do, every season. Tell our scheduler which activity your student is in and we’ll place adjustment appointments on practice-free days.
What’s the drive like across Black Creek on CR-218 during rush hour?
CR-218 is a two-lane state road, and the stretch between Middleburg and US-17 backs up briefly around 7:30–8:00 AM (Wilkinson and Middleburg High morning bus) and again 2:45–3:30 PM (afternoon dismissal). Outside those windows the drive is consistently 15 minutes. We hold morning slots before 8:00 and afternoon slots after 4:00 for families who want to avoid the 218 squeeze.
Do you accept Clay County School District excuse slips for Middleburg High and Wilkinson Junior students?
Yes. We provide Clay County–formatted attendance verification slips at checkout for any mid-school-day appointment. We’ve been doing this with the Middleburg High and Wilkinson Junior attendance offices for years, the form is familiar to both.
How far is Oasis Orthodontics from Middleburg?
Our office at 1530 Business Center Dr, Suite 2, Fleming Island is approximately a 15 min drive from Middleburg. Most Middleburg families arrive in under 15 minutes, no bridges, no I-295.
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept most major dental and orthodontic insurance plans. Call us at (904) 215-0980 and we will verify your benefits at no charge before your visit.
What age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7. Our Orthodontic Specialists can identify developing issues early and determine if intervention would be beneficial.
Is the consultation really complimentary?
Yes. Your initial consultation is complimentary with no obligation. You will receive a comprehensive evaluation and a personalized treatment plan with transparent pricing.
