Dr. Samuel “Jack” Burrow
Our Founder
I have been in private orthodontic practice since 1978 and was an adjunct professor at The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Dentistry.

I have been invited to speak at a number of schools around the country to lecture to orthodontic residents in training including my alma mater, the Medical University of South Carolina, the University of North Carolina, and Harvard University on the mechanics of new-age orthodontics. I have worked with the latest technology and orthodontic systems offered and presented research to the American Association of Orthodontics on using scanning technologies to incorporate overall facial aesthetics into orthodontic practice.

I also author two monthly publications – a monthly newsletter that is delivered to over 3,000 patients of Burrow, Welchel & Culp Orthodontics and a “Case of the Month“ newsletter that’s delivered to over 300 dental professionals in the greater Charlotte and Rock Hill area.
As a board-certified orthodontist, I am committed to staying at the forefront of orthodontic technology and have been asked by numerous vendors to use, test, and provide feedback on various appliances and new technologies. Burrow, Welchel & Culp Orthodontics is the only practice in NC that has been certified to offer a new aligner treatment that is specialized to orthodontists.

Dr. Britney Welchel
Board-Certified Orthodontist
Considered one of the country’s top leaders in the field of orthodontics, I am more than just a crafter of beautiful smiles. I am a published author, an internationally award-winning researcher, a dedicated speaker, and most of all a proud wife and mother. Providing exceptional service and clinical expertise to our patients is of utmost importance.
I began my dental journey after a sports accident in high school left me with two avulsed teeth. As a teenager fresh out of braces myself, I fell in love with orthodontics after being exposed to the intricacies of the profession. Today, after years of education, collaboration with others in the field, and continued learning, I am at the forefront of orthodontic technology and techniques.
I was awarded the Milo Hellman, an honor given to only one orthodontist annually by the American Association of Orthodontists, for my innovative research on corticotomies, which provided new and significant material of value to the art and science of orthodontics. The corticotomy procedure is a means of accelerating orthodontic tooth movement; I specifically studied bone grafting used during the technique and presented my research at the American Association of Orthodontists annual session.
I was also recently presented the “Making a Difference” accolade by my orthodontic peers for my outstanding dedication and commitment to orthodontic excellence, devotion to clinical care, research, and scholarship, thus setting high standards for others to live up to. To me, this is the utmost honor as it demonstrates my continued passion to better our patients, our community, and our profession.
Education
I am a proud alumnus of Furman University. I graduated number one in my dental school class at the Medical University of South Carolina, then went on to complete a three-year residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at Texas A&M University Baylor College of Dentistry, where I was awarded the best-treated case in my class. To this day, I continue to teach the orthodontic residents at Baylor. As a board-certified orthodontist, I have achieved a status that only one in three orthodontists nationwide has accomplished. Our team at Burrow, Welchel & Culp Orthodontics has been voted “Best in Charlotte” for years for our dedication to orthodontic excellence.

Dr. Alexander “Alex” Culp
5-Star-Rated Orthodontist & Pediatric Dentist
I am one of the few dual-trained orthodontists and pediatric dentists in the country. I bring a caring and compassionate nature to make a profound and positive impact on the care of you and your child. My motivation for pursuing dual training comes from the inspiration I find in the precious moments I share with patients and their families.
A Rock Hill native, I grew up as the son of a general dentist and a dental hygienist. Given my family’s involvement with dentistry, it was not uncommon for my family to discuss dental topics at a young age. These early conversations lead my identical twin brother and me to pursue careers in dentistry. Following dental school, I practiced general dentistry with my father and brother prior to deciding to pursue specialty training.
While pursuing a two-year residency in Pediatric Dentistry, I completed training in preventive and therapeutic care for infants and children through adolescence. This training had a large emphasis on how I manage patients with medical complexities and special health care needs, as well as those with dental trauma. Through this program, I completed research regarding pulpal therapy for primary dentition and presented it at the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry’s Annual Conference. During my final year of residency, I served my program as chief resident.
Following completion of my first residency, I entered a three-year residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics where my studies focused on orthodontic care for both children and adults. Through this program, I conducted research focused on craniofacial growth and obtained a master’s degree. While in my final year of residency, I served as chief resident.
I have successfully completed the board certification process through the American Board of Orthodontics and the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, thus receiving designation as both a board-certified orthodontist and a board-certified pediatric dentist. I maintain Diplomate status through both organizations. In addition to private practice, I serve the Medical University of South Carolina’s Department of Orthodontics in the capacity of Clinical Associate Professor. My commitment to collaborative and patient-centered care and my commitment to academic involvement makes me a natural fit for the well-established practice of Burrow, Welchel & Culp Orthodontics.

Dr. Emily Willett
5-Star-Rated Dentist
I am excited to create beautiful smiles while encouraging a fun, positive environment for our patients! Providing high-quality orthodontic care to you and your family in a comfortable, open environment is a true privilege. I strive to empower our patients on their smile journey to achieve a result they truly love!
Why I Love Orthodontics
Originally from Ormond Beach, Florida, I set my sights on a career in dentistry following my own orthodontic treatment. My orthodontist made quite the impression…creating a beautiful smile and inspiring a lifelong passion and career in orthodontics!
Presently, I am energized to push the profession forward by engaging in continuing education courses, exploring new orthodontic technology, and completing novel research. My recent findings contribute to a better understanding of surgical outcomes in patients affected by craniofacial conditions, specifically the Pierre Robin Sequence.
Education
In my residency training at the highly-regarded University of Washington, I had the opportunity to treat patients of all ages with a variety of dental concerns and needs including early interceptive treatment, orthognathic surgery, and interdisciplinary care. I enjoy the collaborative nature of dentistry and look forward to working alongside other dental professionals to design a treatment plan best suited to your needs. My compassionate and kind nature will help you to feel right at home at Burrow, Welchel, and Culp Orthodontics.
Joining my family as a third-generation Wildcat, I attended the University of Kentucky where I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration in Management. I continued my education at UK for dental training and was honored for my academic achievement with induction into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon dental honor society. I served as a tutor to my peers and was awarded for my mastery in the understanding of dental pathology. I completed a three-year orthodontic residency at the University of Washington, known for educating some of the greatest minds in contemporary orthodontics.
