§ Our story · fig. 01
A practice at the same address since 1997.
Serving Fleming Island and Clay County for twenty-eight years. Two specialist orthodontists, one caring team, and tens of thousands of smiles started here.
Rooted in community.
At Oasis Orthodontics, we believe a beautiful smile is more than straight teeth. It reflects confidence, self-esteem, and overall well-being.
Since 1997, we have been serving the Fleming Island community, creating personalized smiles that last a lifetime. What started as Aiosa & Hoffman Orthodontics has grown into one of Clay County’s most respected practices, now continuing as Oasis Orthodontics under the leadership of Dr. Derek Hoffman and Dr. Samantha Montoya.
Over the years we have had the privilege of transforming countless smiles, from children taking their first steps toward a confident grin, to adults rediscovering the joy of a beautiful smile. We are honored to be part of so many families.
“Dr. Lori Aiosa has been part of this practice since the beginning, bringing a vision of world-class orthodontic care rooted in genuine relationships, a standard she still upholds with every patient she sees today.”- from all of us at Oasis Orthodontics
A proud native Floridian, Dr. Aiosa has built lasting bonds with the families she serves across Clay County. Her commitment to clinical excellence and compassionate care set the standard that defines our practice.
