"Dr. Mattingly, Howelll and staff are so friendly and make you feel like family. They definitely changed my smile for the better! I have gained so much confidence too."
"Hands down the most sweetest, caring, funniest people Ive ever met. Love the music and singers too lol. Second time with braces and they explain everything the best. 🧡"
"You couldn’t ask for a more friendly environment. From the moment you walk in to getting your teeth worked on, til the time you walk out. They are focused on you as an individual and want to make sure you have and know what you are supposed to do to care for your braces or Invisalign.Thank you"
"My daughter got her braces on yesterday it took about an hour. Everyone was so friendly and made the experience great for my her. Jacob reached out and checked on her today to make sure everything was going good."

"Great experience with both my daughters who went here for braces and Invisalign! Very professional and friendly doctors and staff! Will be back with my son!"
"Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics is not only a whole fun welcoming vibe when you walk in the door, but it is also a very professional and trustworthy place. They have taken great care of my daughter with each visit so far, are always super informative, and are wonderful with answering any and all questions that we have ever had all while never making us feel uncomfortable to ask. I would definitely recommend them to any and all of my family and friends!"

"Friendly staff. Feel comfortable from the time I enter the front door. They explain what they are doing. In less than 8 months my front teeth are noticeably streighorothers have even mentioned it. I can tell a big difference. I would 100% recommend them to anyone wishing I hadn’t waited so long to go."
"Dr. Chris Howell (it's comedian Tom Segura, compare photos) has been my oldest son's orthodontist for the last year and a half or so... I couldn't rate him, his partners, their employees less than a 5/5 or a 10/10. They know what they're doing, they communicate well, everyone in the whole organization that I have ever spoken to (the Dr's, their staff and assistants, billing, scheduling, etc)are personable, answer all of my questions one by one, and offer every bit of assistance and flexibility possible. My youngest will probably need orthadontia as well in his future, it is what it is... but I know exactly where to get the best advice, and corrective action if necessary."
"Mattingly & Howell has been wonderful to work with. Tina always remembers my son and what enjoys to hold a conversation with him. Her kindness makes him feel comfortable in her chair."

"Amazing practice! The team at Mattingly & Howell provided exceptional education. Together, we were able to make the best informed decisions for my daughter’s plan of care. I feel 100% confident that she is in good hands! I can’t thank this team enough! Glad to be here."
"I never saw myself at 49 getting Invisalign but here we are. Getting older and financially stable allows you to be able to do these things. My experience has been nothing but pure joy!

Both Dr. Mattingly and Dr.Howell are working side by side with my general dentist to gain a great outcome. I still have a way to go but can’t brag on them enough from getting me to a wonderful oral surgeon from day one to get started. And there’s not enough characters left to say how great the entire team is! Appreciate them so much."

I can’t say enough about Mattingly and Howell Orthodonics office staff and the two Dr Chris’. Thank you so much and certainly do appreciate my child’s new smile."
"I initially went to Mattingly and Howell hoping to be a good candidate for braces to improve my smile and bite. The additional benefits that came with it were an unexpected improvement in my health. I can’t thank them enough!The initial consultation was very thorough. During this, it was explained that I would be a good candidate for jaw surgery because my lower jaw was small and under-developed. It was something to think about doing later. I was not too excited about the thought of surgery. Braces were placed. Adjustments were made. I could see a significant improvement in my alignment, however my “small jaw” was obviously not proportional. With each adjustment, we would discuss the possibility of surgery, and it’s risks and benefits. Mentioned was a “cure” or significant improvement in sleep apnea. Having this problem is what eventually led to the decision to have the jaw surgery. Approximately 14 months after my braces were applied, I had upper and lower jaw surgery with a highly skilled oral surgeon at the University of Louisville. After 2 weeks, I became aware that the sleep apnea was gone! Also, the general airway obstruction problems I had been experiencing for at least 10 years were gone as well! I was being treated for exercise-induced asthma (The inhaler made no change). I also took a daily medication for allergies (No change). My thyroid was scanned (The scan was normal). I gave up and accepted that I would struggle sometimes with my breathing. THIS IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE!Thanks to the individualized care I received from Mattingly and Howell and the entire staff, I was able to make an informed decision that has improved my health. The whole group is professional, caring, and excellent at what they do. My profile looks great. I can’t wait to get my braces off soon to put it all together. My smile is already better than I ever imagined. To say I recommend Mattingly and Howell is an understatement! Thank you!"
"My daughter and I both came in for braces upon the recommendation of our dentist. We have been very happy with every encounter we have had with the Doctors and staff. I've recently completed my treatment and extremely satisfied with the result."
"It was a pleasurable experience. I used the Invisalign and was skeptical at first, but soon realized how friendly and helpful the staff was towards me. Thank you Mattingly and Howell!"
"Very professional & super nice. No waiting when you come in for your appointments. Always running on time. They work with you on getting the right time & day that best suits your schedule. They do a great job diagnosing what work you need done on your teeth to get the best results from your braces."
"We have had two children with Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics and have been very pleased. Service was always prompt and efficient. The staff was amazing! They always treated us with kindness and respect. I would definitely recommend Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics."
"I have two sons who have been patients of the Bardstown Office, this office runs like a well-oiled machine. The doctors and staff are very professional and super nice, I have logged close to 100 office visits with Mattingly & Howell over the last 10 years; I've called to get appointments changed to adapt to my sons’ schedules and I can’t think of a time when I got off the phone that I didn’t think “that was easy" or "that was painless”. I have met the doctors and staff outside the office and they are same friendly people they are in the office, always say hi and ask about “my boys”."
"I have three children and all have been patients of Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I am also pleased when I see them out in town and they know me and my children.

Amie worked on his braces last and she was very patient and gentle. She even allowed his little brother to look on and ask questions about what he saw. They do a great job at keeping appointments on time and answering questions that I have had along the way."
"Though having orthodontic work may not always feel pleasant, the staff at Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics made the experience as comfortable as possible for my daughter, Elizabeth. We have always been pleased with the kind, courteous and professional treatment our daughter received when visiting the Bardstown office. The photos taken at the end of my daughter's treatment contrast dramatically with the photos taken prior to treatment. Thank you so much for giving our Elizabeth such a beautiful smile."
"Our son, Connor, is notorious for losing or forgetting his orthodontal supplies. M&H is always available to provide bands, wax, etc. and even provided Hot Chocolate on his last visit. The staff are all very pleasant and we appreciate all they do!Frank Lyvers III"
"I have been under treatment at Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics, Bardstown Office, for 19 Months and they are very professional and friendly. As an adult I dreaded the process of braces but they have made it a fun and pleasant Experience. I am very happy thus far with my treatment. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes in the waiting room. I really can't say enough about the Bardstown office!"
"I love this office and all of the staff and doctors here! I have not had one unpleasant appointment, from the day I first walked in. The staff is wonderful--they willingly watch my toddler if I need to bring her along to appointments, they are always friendly, and they accommodate me if I need a last minute appointment change. I am more than halfway through my invisalign treatment and I have been so happy with my results. I know when my daughter is older she will most likely need braces and I plan on taking her here!"
"The orthontists and staff at Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics have provided orthodontic treatment for both of my children. Their professionalism is top-rate!

I would highly recommend Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics to anyone who needs orhtodontic treatment. :-)"
"Mattingly and Howell in Bardstown seem to always make us feel welcome. They explain everything that is going to be done and try their best to advise their patients to stick with "the plan".

"The atmosphere is absolutely superb, smiles everywhere. Very friendly, passionate, helpful and very professional. Both my son and daughter received their treatment and I was so pleased, I am going myself. Very highly recommended!!!!"
"We love Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics! We simply can't say enough about Dr Chris Mattingly and Dr Chris Howell and the whole staff......We really have had a great experience and our son Andrew who had a severe underbite, is looking so much better. Andrew is a talker and loves to talk to the DMD's and the hygienists (sometimes a little too much) but the staff is so friendly its so hard not to talk to them. I hope my daughter doesn't need braces but if she does we will most definitely not hesitate to go there as well. Andrew has made great strides but the staff here has much more work on Andrew will be be seeing them for a while longer. If anyone saw the results of him, they would be amazed, we are!!"
"My daughter and I have had a wonderful experience with Mattingly and Howell--the orthodontists are very knowledgeable, the staff is friendly and courteous, appointments are on schedule, and we are always happy with our service. We plan to come back with our second daughter soon!Janean Minter"
"We had a wonderful experience with my daughter and her braces. The staff was courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. The wait time was not long at all. We'll be back with my son!"
"We were so happy with our experience at Mattingly & Howell in Bardstown during our daughter, Candice's treatment that we never gave another practice a thought for our son, Addison's treatment! Everyone in the office is friendly and they take time getting to know the patient. Dr. Chris Mattingly is who my kids seen most often and he would always take time after the appointment to chat with me about my child's progress as well as a friendly "catch up" moment with our family. The office is very clean, they provide a small play area for little ones, and the office design is open for you to see the orthodontic work taking place. The practice is ran very efficiently! When you make your appointment they can tell you approximately how long the appointment should take and I can't think of a single time they were wrong within our 6+ years of appointments with them. Lastly, the wait time in office after sign in is usually less than 10 minutes. They quickly call the patient back and get started on treatment, unlike other offices that claim you have little wait time only to call you into another area to wait again. I honestly can not think of anything negative to list about Bardstown's Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics!"
