"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 canāt 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 āsmall jawā was obviously not proportional. With each adjustment, we would discuss the possibility of surgery, and itās risks and benefits. Mentioned was a ācureā 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 canāt 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 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. They are always interested in what they are doing. I have nothing but good things to say about their office."
"You guys are the best. I have had to bring my son in twice since he got his braces on in Dec. because brackets coming off. You all have been very accommodating and understanding. Thank you for all your help."
"My son, Donovan, is a patient at the Bardstown office and loves it. He was 8 when he got his braces. They did a great job of calming his concerns. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. 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."
"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!"
"Very friendly staff. Comfortable atmosphere. Definitely my favorite orthodontics office. I recommend them 100%!-Katrina M."
"The orthontists and staff at Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics have provided orthodontic treatment for both of my children. Their professionalism is top-rate! Their time management is also "top-notch!" I have been nothing but pleased with the service and treatment they have provided. I would highly recommend Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics to anyone who needs orhtodontic treatment. :-)"
"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!!"
"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!"
"As an adult patient in orthodontic care, I can say that the staff and the doctors at Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics have treated me with the utmost respect and care. A visit to their office is always a pleasurable experience!! The doctors want nothing but the best results for me and will do whatever it takes to get it."
