"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!"

"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!"

"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"

"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 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."

"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!"

"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!"

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."
