Smiles Change Lives

Home » Our Practice » Smiles Change Lives

At Burrow Welchel & Culp Orthodontics, we believe in the power of a beautiful smile for everyone. It is our mission to create smiles that not only enhance oral health but also boost confidence and transform lives. We are proud to partner with a program that shares our vision — the Smiles Change Lives Program.

Smiles Change Lives (SCL) is a remarkable non-profit organization that offers a helping hand to families who find the cost of braces prohibitive. SCL believes that braces should not be considered a luxury, and every child deserves a bright, confident smile.

Our Commitment to Changing Lives

As an allied partner with Smiles Change Lives, we have been creating life-changing smiles for children across our communities. The program operates as a true partnership where the family, the orthodontist, and SCL work together to ensure children receive the quality care they need.

The program is designed to assist children and families who cannot afford the full cost of braces. Families with children who meet the qualifications are matched with an SCL provider orthodontist like us, who agrees to treat SCL-approved cases for a significantly reduced treatment fee.

The application process for the SCL program is straightforward and user-friendly. Interested families can visit the ‘Kids & Parents’ section on the SCL website to learn more about the program and how to apply.

The Impact of Smiles Change Lives

Through the tireless efforts of the SCL team and its partners like Burrow Welchel & Culp Orthodontics, thousands of children have found new reasons to smile. The testimonials and success stories shared on the SCL website are heart-warming proof of the program’s impact.

We are incredibly proud to be part of the Smiles Change Lives program, helping to make orthodontic care accessible to all. Together, we can change lives, one smile at a time.

For more details, please contact our team or check out the Smiles Change Lives website.

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!

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:Hi, Dalvin. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
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!

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!
