2025 Women’s Profile: Dr. Casi Stubbs

Stubbs Orthodontics

For a woman whose career revolves around the smiles of others, Dr. Casi Stubbs certainly has a lot to smile about. She is, after all, living the life she long dreamed about.

Born and raised on the Emerald Coast, Stubbs sought education nearby and headed east to attend Florida State University for a degree in chemistry. A few years later, she traveled a couple more hours south to attend dental school at the University of Florida. Then, she went on to Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale where she completed her residency in orthodontics.

She never ventured too far from home, but all the while, she couldn’t wait to return to the Emerald Coast.

“I’m very grateful to have my own practice in the place I was raised,” says Stubbs. “The whole time I was in school, I was dreaming about coming back here and making what I have now into my reality. I don’t take the opportunity I have for granted.”

Stubbs opened her first office in Niceville in 2007 and would go on to open her second practice in Miramar Beach in 2012. Where the orthodontic industry has fluctuated throughout the years, Stubbs has maintained both a steady clientele and reliable employees.

This retention stems from the positive environment Stubbs creates. Her staff matches that energy, passing joy along to patients. Stubbs was initially drawn to orthodontics after witnessing, during her time volunteering at a pediatric dentist, how children were often anxious during their visits. She wanted to change that.

Through orthodontics, she could provide a comforting in-office experience with tangible, often life-changing results. With most orthodontic treatments lasting around three years, Stubbs is able to get to know patients and see their self-confidence progress.

“It makes me really happy to go on social media and see the smiles I helped to create,” says Stubbs. “They were once shy 8-year-olds. Now they are going off to college or starting their own families with big smiles on their faces.”

Where Stubbs invests in her patients, she also actively invests in her community. Each month, the office holds an office fundraiser in which she matches patient donations.
Over $250,000 has been donated to local nonprofits.

As a lifelong learner, Stubbs is part of a group of 12 local dentists who come together to discuss methods, techniques, case studies, and more. Stubbs has both given and received valuable knowledge that she takes into her practice to best care for her patients.

To create accessible care and offer proper assessment, the first visit to Stubbs Orthodontics is free, including X-rays.

Stubbs’ reasons to smile only increase when she’s at home with her husband and two daughters. With her top priority being a mother, Stubbs utilizes these instincts when making treatment plans for patients. Families are assured that they will be treated just like a member of Stubbs’ family.
