Braces For Teens In Charlotte, NC

Orthodontic Treatment With Braces For Teens

Straight teeth and a beautiful smile are important for a teen’s confidence! Orthodontic treatment with braces is an effective way to help teenagers achieve this goal. Braces can reduce overcrowding of the teeth, correct misalignment, improve bite problems, and create a pleasing appearance that will last a lifetime. At Burrow Welchel & Culp Orthodontics, we specialize in helping teenagers get perfect smiles through orthodontic treatment with braces. We understand the importance of having straight teeth during formative years and strive to provide high-quality care that helps our teen patients feel confident about their smiles.

Benefits Of Braces

Braces have many benefits for teenagers, making them one of the most important investments anyone can make in their oral health. Unlike overcrowded teeth, which can be difficult to keep clean and may cause jaw pain from uneven alignment, orthodontic treatment with braces will ensure straighter teeth that are easier to care for. Plus, the improved self-esteem that comes with a confident smile is something no one should go without. With braces, teens can feel more secure when showing off their smile, knowing that their teeth are strong and properly aligned.

At Burrow Welchel & Culp Orthodontics, we provide comprehensive orthodontic treatment plans that are tailored to each patient’s needs. Our experienced team strives to make the process as comfortable and convenient as possible for our teenage patients, offering various braces options to choose from. If you are looking for braces for your teen in Charlotte, NC, contact us today to schedule a consultation.

How Do Braces Fit Into The Teen Lifestyle?

Many teenagers worry that braces will be too inconvenient or difficult to incorporate into their lifestyle. The team at Burrow Welchel & Culp Orthodontics understands this concern and is committed to working with our teenage patients to ensure they can maintain their normal day-to-day activities while receiving treatment. At your initial braces appointment, we will also provide helpful tips on how to take care of your braces, such as:

    • Avoiding hard and sticky foods
    • Brushing carefully after meals or snacks
    • Not using your teeth to open bottles or cans
    • Scheduling regular orthodontic and dentist appointments

With the right approach, teens can easily incorporate orthodontic treatment with braces into their lifestyle without disruption. If your teen is looking for a team to help them achieve a beautiful smile through braces in Charlotte, NC, contact Burrow Welchel & Culp Orthodontics today.

Finding The Best Option For You

The Burrow Welchel & Culp Orthodontics team understands teens’ concerns about finding the right braces, which is why we offer traditional metal, clear, gold, champagne (rose gold), and self-ligating braces options.

Traditional metal braces are the most common choice, and they provide straightening power at a relatively low cost. Other options, such as clear, gold, and champagne braces are designed to have the same effectiveness as metal braces while offering an aesthetic appeal. Self-ligating braces are designed to be more discreet and comfortable than traditional metal braces, making them a great choice for those looking for a seamless orthodontic experience. Whichever you choose, the team at Burrow Welchel & Culp Orthodontics is here to help you find the best option for your needs.

Patient Reviews

Our 5-Star Experience

We work hard to earn our patients’ trust by providing the highest quality orthodontic care possible. Check out what other patients are saying about their experience!

Renice S.
Dr. Alex Culp and his entire team are truly exceptional. From the very first appointment, I felt completely cared for, supported, and confident that I was in the best hands possible. Dr. Culp is not only extremely knowledgeable and skilled, but also incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful in the way he approaches care. He takes the time to explain everything, answers questions thoroughly, and makes sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.

What truly sets him apart is his compassion. As a mom, being able to bring my daughter (affectionately known as Nuggie) to my appointments meant more to me than I can express. Dr. Culp and his team welcomed her with such warmth and understanding, which made the entire experience stress-free and genuinely enjoyable. That level of kindness and flexibility speaks volumes about the culture he’s created in his practice.

The entire staff is just as wonderful—friendly, supportive, professional, and always attentive. You can tell they truly care about their patients and love what they do. Every visit feels positive, calm, and well-organized.

I absolutely love Dr. Culp and his team and cannot recommend them highly enough. If you’re looking for an orthodontist who combines expertise with heart, this is the place. 🤍🩷🦷✨
Li H.
It’s been a while since we’ve had to visit as the kids are all out of braces now. We were so pleased to come in and receive the same amazing and personal care and service as always. We were also glad to visit two of your new locations. Congratulations! Thank you, Dr. Britney and all the Drs. Burrow.
Response from the owner:Hi, Li. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
cinthya P.
Excellent service, very professional, I highly recommend them. I am very, very grateful to them. My son is happy with his braces.
Response from the owner:Hi, Cinthya. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Jennifer J. H.
The staff is very friendly and professional from time to time you'll get a joke about your treatment plan, like closing up them parking spaces.
Response from the owner:Hi, Jennifer. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Dalvin G.
The staff, technicians, and doctors are always proving excellent service! They go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable after adjustments.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words! We're really glad to hear that our team helps you feel comfortable and cared for—especially after adjustments. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and are happy to have you with us!
Megan H.
Dr Albert and the hygienist are all welcoming, on time and answer any and all questions. Great with kids too! Highly recommend!

Dr Albert also found a potential adenoid issue during X-rays and went through extra lengths to explain concerns and suggested to follow up with a specialist. There was an issue and we were able to get a treatment plan after seeing a specialist that would have otherwise been ignored.
Response from the owner:Hi, Megan. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Ashley M.
The staff and doctors are always friendly and welcoming. They always take such great care of their patients
Response from the owner:Ashley, thank you so much for sharing this! Your kind words truly mean a lot to our entire team. We’re grateful for the trust you place in us, and it’s wonderful to hear that you feel welcomed and well cared for during your visits. We look forward to continuing to support you with the same warmth and attention every time you come in.
Kara R.
Let's just start by saying getting braces as an adult is not ideal, BUT if I had to recommend an orthodontist to anyone .. this is where I would send them! I am a unique case in that I technically need jaw reconstruction to completely "perfect" my smile. Despite my face being a challenge Dr.Alex went above & beyond. He exceeded all expectations I had for my final smile. The entire office is so kind and welcoming. I can't say enough how thankful I am for Dr.Alex and his staff. When it's time for my daughters to get braces this is where we'll be going (:
Response from the owner:Hi, Kara. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Mafi B.
From just opening the door and stepping inside, this place smells divine!! And then sweet Monica welcomes Elaina with a warm beautiful smile! Her service was awesome. Then here comes Dr. Alex, he is definitely a people person. He takes his time explain every best options we can have. Me and my daughter Elaina was treated just like family. Thank you for a wonderful experience and you guys have made our day!!
Response from the owner:Hi, Mafi. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Yanes Lopez Z De M.

Mandms4dayz B.
I was referred to the practice and totally blown away by the knowledge and professionalism of every staff member.
Response from the owner:Hi, Mandms4dayz. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Erika L.
It’s always great visit for my daughter’s appointments at Burrows! My children and I adore Dr. Culp every time. And it’s always great to see LeAnn! She’s always been so welcoming from day one! Dr. Culp is so knowledgeable and breaks everything down step by step. I’m never unsure about what happened in the appt or what the next steps are moving forward. My daughter is currently finishing up her treatment and my son is next 😊. I always speak highly of them when someone mentions braces and they’re my FIRST and only referral lol.

We currently moved to Charlotte and although they have several locations I REFUSED to change from our Rock Hill location with Dr. Culp! Thank you to the staff there for making each visit smooth!
Response from the owner:Hi, Erika. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Tamika
Lily (operations manager) is a true angel! She took the time to really listen to me..not just as a patient, but as a person. I truly appreciated how understanding and patient she was while helping me find the best solutions to fit both my treatment and financial needs. She made everything work seamlessly without ever compromising the business. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made the entire experience so much better.

Also, a huge shout-out to Dr. Zamora, who has been an absolute gem! He’s a wonderful orthodontist skilled, caring, and always makes you feel comfortable and confident about your treatment.

I’ll be honest,my experience here hasn’t always been 100% perfect, but Lily and Dr. Zamora have turned things around for me. I’m so grateful for the care and attention they’ve shown. I still have some time left in the process prayerfully it continues to go smoothly .
Response from the owner:Hi, Tamika. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Mohammed K.
I love this place. I don't have to wait for a long time during my visits. Mary is a fantastic person. She attended to me and resolved the issue by scheduling an immediate appointment when I was experiencing problems with my braces. I highly recommended this Orthodontist.
Response from the owner:Hi, Mohammed. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
