"From the very first visit, we felt welcomed, understood, and genuinely cared for. This team doesn’t just straighten teeth—they are compassionate people who truly go above and beyond for their patients.Dr. Mattingly is not only a knowledgeable orthodontist, but also an exceptional human being. He truly cares about his patients and takes the time to make sure they feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. We couldn’t ask for a better orthodontist.Stephanie is the heart of the office. The moment you walk in, she greets you with warmth and kindness. She was amazing with my daughter and on several occasions when I couldn’t attend my son’s appointments, I called the office and she made sure I was updated and reassured—like a second mom! She takes the time to explain every option thoroughly and always makes you feel supported. Summer is so patient and gentle—my daughter absolutely adored her. She helped put my daughter at ease during her appointment, and it made all the difference in her experience.Shea was also amazing. She took the time to walk us through the process, answer our questions, and provide guidance every step of the way.We are so thankful to have found this office. It’s rare to find a team that combines professional excellence with genuine compassion. Highly recommend!"

"Mattingly & Howell have taken the best care of me and my three children. I have always wanted my teeth to be beautiful and straight and they made it so easy for me with the Invisalign.

We love coming to your office in Bardstown or Lebanon. Five Stars all the way!!"

Dr. Howell was so patient with this process & we worked through every single problem we ran into & today we finally took the braces off & I am beaming. I’m so happy with my smile. So happy with my treatment, and happy with the care that was taken. Highly recommend. My children will 100% come to Dr. Howell as well down the road when their time comes!! Thanks again for all the hard work! I can’t stop smiling!"

"Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics’ Lebanon office is excellent! It is super easy and convenient for a Marion County school day ortho visit. We were in and out within 25 minutes! The staff, especially Stephanie and Penny, are great. Everyone is friendly, professional, and welcoming. Dr. Howell took time to discuss my son’s progress with me, keeping me informed on his treatment. I would definitely recommend Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics in Lebanon. 😃"
"My daughter got her braces today! Everyone was so friendly and answered all our questions. The Dippin’ Dots at the end brought a smile to her face! Thank you so much for making this a very pleasant experience for us! 😊"
"I really cannot say enough about Dr. Mattingly and his incredible staff at Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics. There's a location downtown for the few invisalign checkups that are needed (few compared to normal braces) and it's convenient for anyone who works in Indiana or downtown Louisville. The process is so smooth and takes no time at all to correct teeth (and bite) back to the proper place. I hesitated for a few years before pulling the trigger on invisalign, but I'm so happy I corrected my smile. I previously suffered from TMJ and I really think the bite correction and realignment of my teeth has done wonders to help the pain from teeth clenching and grinding. I'm about 6 months out from my last "invisalign tray" currently and really love the outcome. I look back at pictures before invisalign and it's incredible how fast the process works with simple trays. If you are considering invisalign, Dr. Chris, his entire staff (especially Gayle!) are so kind. Best money spent and post invisalign, I smile all time because I'm so happy with my teeth."

"My third child just got out of braces. Mattingly and Howell was always so customer-friengly, accommodating, and professional. I loved the up-front communication about expense. In 10 years, we never had to wait more than 5 minutes in the waiting area. Thanks for the beautiful smiles."

"I'm probably the oldest patient at M&H, but they sure make me feel special!! I was REALLY nervous about even the thought of getting braces at my age (almost 59) however, my concerns were met with an AMAZING group of caring people, that immediately put me at ease.
