Patient Reviews
"Orthodontist you can trust! We moved from Colorado and my son needed a replacement retainer, they happened to be a sister orthodontist to the one we used in Colorado. They took care of my son’s so great that I went back for myself to do Invisalign treatments. They are friendly and honest, they truly care about all of their patients! If you need orthodontic care this is the place to go to!"
"Dr. Mattingly and his office staff are very welcoming, caring, personable and professional. I am looking forward to my Invisalign experience."
"The staff here are all very welcoming and kind! I went in for an Invisalign consultation and every interaction i had throughout the process was so pleasant. They answered all of my questions and gave me detailed information on the process. When i came back to start my Invisalign process, the interaction was the same. I really appreciate all of them there for helping me begin my journey to straight teeth 😊"
"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"
"Absolutely wonderful staff. Fantastic service and results! My teeth have never felt or looked better. The app is really easy to use, and you have professionals checking in on you every week from the comfort of home.Everyone has really gone above and beyond to ensure that I’m happy with my Invisalign treatment. I started 8 months before my wedding. Progress was fast. They removed all of my attachments before my big day, even though they had to put them back on when we went to refinement 🥹 I’m so happy with my pictures! Thank you!"
"Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics have taken amazing care of 2 of our kiddos, soon to be 3rd. The first two got braces and the 3rd will be getting Invisalign.The doctors and staff are so easy to work with, are caring, considerate and truly want the best for their patients.Definitely glad we found Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"My three oldest kids have had care at Mattingly and Howell! They are top notch in care, hospitality, and facilities!My oldest started and completed her care here with Invisalign. We are extremely pleased with how things went.My next kiddo began care else where (another state) before we moved here, and was told she would be in brace for four years straight, when we saw Dr. Mattingly he was really wanting to give her a break, because four years is a long time to be in braces, and that is exactly what happened. A year and a half after care started here (almost 2 years in braces) she was able to get her braces off, and give about a year break before she will continue with Invisalign (still to come).My third kiddo had a cross bite and needed some early intervention. We decided to do an expander followed by Invisalign for his first phase. We had some decisions to make at the end of his first phase and Dr. Howell provided us with his educated advice and let us make the decisions!My fourth kiddo is not old enough for orthodontic care yet, but when he does we will come here without hesitation! Such great care, kind people, and wonderful space!"
"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!"
"My daughter went through her whole first round of invisalign here. Everyone on staff is so wonderful and we absolutely love being patients here!"

"Everyone at the Bardstown office is wonderful! We always are in and out timely and they are very responsive with any issues we have regarding my son's invisalign. Super friendly staff and Dr Howell is great!"
"I can't recommend Mattingly & Howell enough. I'm no longer self conscious when smiling or talking or filming - and have been sharing my experience with many friends. I didn't realize how many friends also were frustrated with how their teeth looked 20+ years AFTER we all had our first set of braces off. A summer in Invisalign and I'm back in business! And have sent several friends in for a consultation!"
"Great office staff! My daughter really excited to begin her Invisalign journey."
"Dr. Mattingly and team are the best! Wouldn’t go anywhere else. My husband, 4 kids and I have all received excellent care over many years. My Invisalign appointment was quick and easy-thanks again:)"
"Dr. Chris Mattingly and his team are great. I recently had TMJ and Dr. Chris and his team understand adult tooth issues. I am a senior and want to retain my teeth for as long as I can. This was the right choice for my children and now for me. My teeth, gums, and mouth are the gateway for disease. Taking care of my mouth is a huge priority. Dr. Mattingly's treatment has been hugely beneficial. As a side benefit, the process helped me jump-start my diet to lose nearly 100 pounds over the time frame using Invisalign. No more TMJ, no migraines, no popping noise, and now my bite is corrected. Best decision I made since 2022 when I went through a significant stressful event. Mattingly & Howell knew how to resolve my mouth issues. Kms"

Mary Kay was always so friendly, kind and welcoming and somehow always knew my name as soon as I walked in the door!Debbie and Dr Howell made the Invisalign process so easy.

They even have great AI technology to assist with treatment!"
"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. I’m a busy, working mom and they worked around my schedule to give me a beautiful smile like my children’s. THANK YOU for always being great to us. We love coming to your office in Bardstown or Lebanon. Five Stars all the way!!"
"I can’t believe Invisalign works! More than 30 years after my initial set of braces! The doctors and staff at Mattingly and Howell are superb. If you are tired of the shifts that occurred in your mouth, call these guys for help. Louisville KY"
"I’ve had the best experience with Mattingly and Howell. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Very calm and welcoming. I’m very happy with the outcome of my Invisalign treatment. Highly recommend!!!"
"I had a great experience with Drs. Mattingly && Howell. I am thrilled with my straight teeth after 10 months of wearing aligners. The process was smooth and went by quickly. Laura was very professional when taking off the aligner attachments. She also did an excellent job explaining the process while whitening my teeth. She went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable during the whole process. I would highly recommend Mattingly & Howell if you are thinking about Invisalign. They and the entire staff are exceptional."
"I can't praise this office enough! Exceptional care! Dr Mattingly took care of me as a kid/teen and now again as an adult. I wouldn't go to anyone else. Since starting my adult invisalign journey, they have called me twice AFTER hours to check on me and see how I was doing. That meant a lot."
"Love all of the staff and completed my course of aligners in less time than estimated! Everyone is so friendly and you can tell they love their job. Would recommend to anyone looking for braces or invisalign!"

"We were well informed about our son's teeth and what had to be done. He starts invisalign in February."
"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! The office staff is friendly and welcoming and knows you by name as soon as you walk through the door. Dr. Mattingly is wonderful he explains everything so everyone is on the same page and listens to your concerns and issues. I highly recommend Mattingly & Howell you will not be disappointed."
"Love the Mattingly & Howell office, recently completed 6 months of Invisalign with my 9 year old, and process was very straightforward and effective! Also staff is friendly and polite and Dr. Mattingly was terrific - would recommend to anyone"
"I recently completed 14 months of Invisalign treatment with Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. Scheduling appointments was always easy, and the Smile Doctor app made it incredibly convenient to do my weekly scans without having to visit the office. They were always quick to respond to any questions I had.Dr. Chris Mattingly was amazing, always answering my questions with a smile. The staff was consistently kind and easy to get along with. Thanks to their excellent care, my teeth are straight, and my smile is better than ever. I highly recommend Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics for anyone considering Invisalign!"
"I started my Invisalign journey last November (2023), and have just finished. My smile looks great, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience I had with this team. Everyone was incredibly friendly, answered all of my questions (and more often explained before I even asked questions!), and were reassuring and kind when I had concerns. They have earned every last star by a mile and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to improve their alignment. Thank you care team!"
"Finally decided to straighten my smile and was referred to Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics. Dr Chris and the staff were so warm and nice. The process was explained well and no pressure applied either way. I used Invisalign. The process of wearing retainers has its challenges but the process of assessing progress and communication with the office was easy and smooth. I just finished my Invisalign after about 6 months and I’m extremely pleased. The entire staff was fantastic, the office very comfortable and I would recommend them to anyone at any age who wants a beautiful smile!"
"The team at Mattingly & Howell have been great throughout my Invisalign process. Amazing communication, clear direction, and I’m already starting to see results."
"Both my sons and I have had great experiences with our Invisalign care at Mattingly & Howell. They are efficient, thorough, and convenient. Highly recommend!"
"My daughter is in phase 2 of Invisalign. Her first round was done of the age 6 to 7. She is now 9 and her teeth are beautiful. Phase 2 is to fully finish straightening her teeth out since phase one was mostly to make more space in her mouth. I love everyone in this office (Stoney Brook) super friendly and always making sure you are taken care of!"
"Very professional staff! Always feel comfortable when I walk in here and they take great care of my kids. 2 Invisalign kids and we are happy campers."
"I am 30 years old & unfortunately had to return back to braces because my teeth are stubborn & Invisalign wasn’t a good fit for me. 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!"
"Excellent Invisalign treatment. Dr. Mattingly worked closely with our daughter's surgeon and the results were fantastic! I appreciate the kind, friendly, and professional staff."
"I recently received Invisalign here and had an outstanding experience. The clinic is spotless and welcoming, creating a comfortable atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The staff are highly professional and incredibly polite. Every interaction, from scheduling appointments to the actual treatments, was handled with care and courtesy. They truly go above and beyond to ensure their patients feel at ease and well-informed. Any concerns or issues I had were promptly addressed. The team listened attentively and made sure I was completely satisfied with my care.Overall, Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics Stoney Brook provides excellent service. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks for everything. - Jordon"
"I highly recommend Dr Mattingly for Invisalign treatment. I started my treatment at another orthodontist out of state. Before moving to Louisville, my prior orthodontist said I finished my treatment but I was unhappy with the results. Dr. Mattingly assessed my teeth and came up with a new great plan to fix my teeth. Now after finishing my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Mattingly, my smile is perfect and better than I ever thought possible.The Smile Doctors phone app used to scan my teeth every week was very easy to use and quick. During my in person visits, Dr. Mattingly was always very pleasant and personable. I only had 1 visit during my treatment with Dr. Howell, but he was very pleasant as well. The whole team at this location was great.I can’t recommend this place enough and will absolutely be going back here for any future orthodontic needs I have!"
"From start to finish, I’ve appreciated my experience at Mattingly & Howell Ortho. I had pretty miserable orthodontics experiences in middle and high school and came back as an adult to fix some insecurities I have with my smile. They’ve helped me understand my options, explained every step of the process, always make appointments quick and easy but not rushed. They followed up to check on me the day after I got my Invisalign put in just to be sure I was adjusting well. I’ve appreciated them so much and would highly recommend them!"
"There are no words to express how grateful I am for Dr. Mattingly. Honestly I had given up hope before I came to this office. After years and years of dental work, 2 previous rounds of braces as a child, Physical therapy for TMJ, mouth guards for sleeping, I was still in pain. Daily headaches and sleepless nights…even a broken tooth. I’ve seen multiple dentist that said surgery was my only route. I was referred to Dr. Mattingly by my new dentist after my other one retired and it might have been the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me. I was told I’d need a miracle and that’s exactly what I was given. Treatment started June 2022, back then I had an open bite, I couldn’t bite through pizza or sandwiches, a piece of lettuce on a sandwich was enemy #1. I had two teeth that touched, the rest were a mess. Flash forward to today, I can eat ANYTHING (is this why I’ve gained weight?) no problem and a smile that I’ve only dreamed about. I should be the poster child for Invisalign. But, all jokes aside, this is the absolute best group of orthodontist and the office staff are so kind. I should add that being able to do scans at home were amazing, so nice not to have to take as much time off work as I was expecting. If you’re an adult and you were questioning getting braces again, please let this be your sign to go for it."
"This place is great. Braces and Invisalign are two options you can do here. Friendly people in the office."
"NO ONE BETTER!!!I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me through the Invisalign process and with great results!!! I just wanted to say thank you I appreciate everyone’s kindness and expertise more than I can express. Thank You So Much!"
"I always appreciate the quality of care I receive. Today I had some issues with my Invisalign & they listened to all of my concerns, continued to treat me with respect & we discussed a new treatment plan to get the results I’m wanting to see. Respect goes a long way!"
"I’ve done both braces and Invisalign here and I love this place!! The doctors are always so friendly and they always make sure all of my needs are taken care of. They even offered me a snack while I wait."
"Wonderful experience with my daughter’s invisalign. Excellent staff always professional and courteous!! Highly recommend this practice"
"I’m doing Invisalign through Mattingly & Howell and every step of the journey so far has been quick, easy, and enjoyable. The staff is wonderful, I never have to wait long for service, they answer all of my questions, and make my treatment plan easy to understand. I have wanted Invisalign for years and starting the process with Mattingly & Howell was one of the best choices I’ve made. Every time I go in for an appointment I walk out feeling excited for the next step of my treatment. I cannot recommend their office enough."
"Best orthodontist office ever! The most sweetest people & care about their patients, if you’re looking to get braces or Invisalign this is the place to go! They make me feel welcome everytime :)"
"Have had a great experience at Mattingly & Howell! I had been receiving Invisalign treatment in another state and they made my switch to their practice as easy as possible! Everyone is always very friendly and care about you as their patient. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!"
"I completed the Invisalign system here and it was a great experience! I have never had braces, good teeth and alignment all my life then suddenly that changed in my 50’s. The staff is super friendly, scheduling easy and flexible, and the service was affordable. I loved that they had an “express” program for my needs and goals. I have recommended M&H to many others - my son ended up doing Invisalign before his Wedding!"
"This establishment received 5 stars because my experience at Mattingly and Howell Stony Brook has always been and I believe always will be a great experience. All of the staff makes me feel comfortable and welcome when I come in for my Invisalign treatment, I would recommend them to anyone seeking this form of treatment!"
"The staff at this office have made the Invisalign experience so simple. They have been very courteous even through the pandemic with all of the extra protocols. We will return when our next kid needs orthodontic care."
"I had a good experience with the Invisalign. They were very comfortable. When I started they were tight on my teeth but in time they felt better"
"I was told I needed to get braces or invisalign by my dentist then referred here because my brother comes here for braces. I, on the other hand, chose to get invisalign and was told that I would use them for over a year. I just got them taken off and I could not be happier. They made this long process so smooth with their use of technology and wonderful communication with clients. I will always refer family and friends to Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics."
"As a dentist, I know firsthand what great quality Mattingly and Howell provides. The entire process of Invisalign has been fantastic from start to finish. I refer my patients to them and chose them for my own treatment. Highly recommend!!!"
"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."
"Before deciding to go with Dr. Mattingly for my Invisalign, I got second opinions from 2 other orthodontists around town. Although some offered cheaper options, none were as thorough as Dr. Mattingly which made the decision an easy one. He offers hours that allowed me to schedule some appointments before or after work. He's very knowledgeable, the staff is experienced and the whole office is run smoothly and efficiently. Dr. Mattingly will make sure you are completely satisfied with your smile. I couldn't be more happy with the way my teeth turned out!"
"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!"
"They have a very friendly staff and are always available to answer questions and help anyway they can. I recommend them to anyone searching for Orthodontic treatment. Their friendly atmosphere makes you feel right at home. They look out for your best interest. Dr. Mattingly had the same concerns I did about getting braces with my line of work; I am the face of my dealership so it is important I look my best. He found ways to make my dental work, work best for me. He did some research and was able to get me Invisalign, which we both thought, and I have been told my whole life I could not get. I am a few months into my treatment and I could not be happier.. Finally getting the smile I have always wanted and I have Doctors that go out of their way to accommodate my needs."
"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!"
