Patient Reviews
"Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics is the only place I would consider going to. Awesome Staff and Doctors!"
"I’ve been going to Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics for three years. The doctors and staff are always very friendly and upbeat. They really put you at ease! I have been receiving services to straighten my teeth with plastic aligners. The doctors have tried every means possible to help me receive the best outcome. I really appreciate their efforts and feel that I am in excellent hands!"
"I had an excellent appointment today! Dr. Chris and his assistant, Mrs. Debbie, took really great care of me. The entire braces office is exceptional everything you need in one place with kind, hardworking staff. They are always on time and very professional. I truly appreciate the level of care and service they provide!"
"Everyone was super friendly and made me feel comfortable immediately. My treatment plan was explained very well and all of my concerns were thoroughly addressed. So glad I scheduled with Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics! My daughter will need braces soon and I know for sure where she’ll be going 😊"
"My daughter just finished her braces treatment with Mattingly & Howell and could not be happier with her results. The staff were always very professional and kind. Highly recommend!"
"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!"
"Staff was wonderful when putting braces on my 15 year old son. They made sure he was comfortable and aware of what was being done. Dr. Howell called the next evening to make sure he was doing ok! It made me feel good to know they care!"
"Love this office! I completed Smile Express and it took only 20 weeks to close 2 large gaps. The staff was always so friendly, Dr. Howell was so great and very transparent. I would definitely recommend them. You wont be disappointed!"
"My oldest got his braces removed a few years ago. We couldn’t have asked for a better orthodontist. Our experience with Mattingly & Howell and staff was fantastic, and my oldest receives countless compliments on his teeth. Now, we're going through this process with my youngest, and everyone has been wonderful. We truly couldn’t ask for a better orthodontist."
"Dr. Chris and the staff at Mattingly & Howell are excellent. They explain every step of the Invisalign process, with patience and understanding. Everyone at Mattingly and Howell are friendly, caring and genuinely want you to succeed."
"My daughter Grace recently had her braces put on. Dr. Chris and his entire staff made her feel very welcome and comfortable during the long process. She especially loved the technician who actually put her braces on (I'm so sorry, but I can't recall her name!) Thank you so much for being the best orthodontic team we could ever wish for. Keep being amazing!"
"I did Smile Doctors through Mattingly & Howell and it was super easy. My smile looks great and my teeth are straight! The staff made sure that my entire experience was hassle free and painless, from getting my initial scan to helping me track my invoices for my FSA. (Shout out to Raven!) Plus, orthodontia technology has advanced so much since I got braces back in grade school that was surprised with how easy and quick it was for them to scan my teeth. And they could monitor my progress at home so I didn't have to make monthly check-ins, like the old days. 10 out of 10 recommend!"
"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!"
"We love Dr. Chris Howell and his staff at Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics. Awesome place to get your teeth aligned!"
"I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Dr. Mattingly & Dr. Howell and their team during my braces journey! From the very first consultation, they made me feel comfortable and confident in the process. The clinic was modern, clean, and welcoming! Throughout my braces journey, I appreciated how attentive they were to my comfort, adjusting things as needed and always making sure I felt supported. The progress was remarkable, and my teeth gradually transformed into a beautiful, aligned smile."
"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"
"Everyone at Mattingly & Howell has been wonderful over the last year and a half of Invisalign treatment for our 11 year old son. The staff is so knowledgeable, kind, and made our son very comfortable and confident in his smile along the way!"
"I had the best experience with Dr. Mattingly, Dr. Howell & Ms Laura! They all helped me achieve my dream smile through doing Invisalign with My Smile Express.

"This is our second time with Mattingly and Howell (second kiddo in braces) and we have been so happy with everything. From scheduling to financial guidance to actually having the braces put on and monitored, they are truly the best!"
"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 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."
"Dr. Mattingly and Dr. Howell both are fantastic along with their staff. Very friendly faces from check in to check out. Staff is extremely informative to help make my Invisalign experience an easy one. Thank you!!"

"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!"
"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!"
"My rating is 100 stars! I can't stop smiling! I'm 72yo & had never had braces. In my late 60's my top front teeth gradually began shifting over top of one another and were crooked. I began smiling with my mouth closed because I was embarrassed about my teeth. I believed I was too old for orthodontics and additionally, thought it was vain to spend the money for treatment at my age. Fortunately, I responded to an ad about discounts from Mattingly & Howell. I was warmly invited to come into the office for a consult. I'll omit the details of the consult for brevity, but Dr Howell developed a treatment plan for my teeth for Invisaligns. His plan was for 20 weeks and was affordable to my budget. I'm so happy with the results that I truly can't stop smiling! My family and friends are amazed by my results! Regarding my experience, every office person, from front desk staff, technicians, and Dr Howell, was exceptionally professional & kind. They were patient & thorough in instructing me on how to use the Invisaligns and ensured I practiced before I left the office. At each visit they were attentive to my comfort and understanding of what they were doing. It was an environment in which I felt relaxed and able to engage in friendly conversation with everyone. The office is well-organized and managed & I was always seen at my scheduled appointment time. The office environment is appealing, spacious, and clean. Parking is easy. Folks, Mattingly & Howell is the office to go to for orthodontic treatment. My experience and results were incredible!"
"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!"
"We have had a wonderful experience with Dr Mattingly & Howell and staff. From the beginning they were very knowledgeable, patient with explaining all methods of treatment and following through with the care plan. My daughter 's halfway through her treatment and her smile looks beautiful.Both of my nieces got their braces here also. We have nothing but good things to say about their care. I highly recommend their services!"
"I am very pleased with my child's experience at Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics. During phase one, the team effectively addressed her overcrowding issue with a clear plan and excellent communication. The impressive technology and before-and-after pictures are great, but the real highlight is the professional relationships built with the staff.I am especially grateful for the candid conversations with Dr. Mattingly. The enhanced confidence and improved jawline my child has gained are truly remarkable. The entire team has made this journey a positive one, and I highly recommend Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics for top-notch orthodontic care."

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!"
"Loved the experience I had over the past 2 years with Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics. Everyone in the office is so kind and friendly. The process all the way through was easy to follow and if any issues came up, they were swift to respond"
"My whole family has gotten braces here, I am the last of 4 in my family to get them on. Both Dr. Mattingly and Dr. Howell are such kind people, and their staff is just as genuine. Any time I have a concern I call and they fit me in, and my teeth have never looked better. On top of that, they still ask about my older siblings; I can tell they really care about their patients, even past the time they are in braces. Very grateful for this team! 🫶🏼"
"10/10 would recommend, my consultation with Dr. Howell & Alexis, the treatment coordinator was informative, honest and exciting. From there, I had an appointment today to get braces and the experience was the BEST! Cassie, the dental assistant was super sweet and really took care of me. Dr. Chris was efficient and very careful with the process of my treatment. Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics is the best ortho office in Louisville, hands down!"

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 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."

"Biggest shout out ever to Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics!!! They have became close friends over the past couple of years and I honestly looked forward to every appointment! Truly was the best experience a patient could ever have! Chick-fil-A has customer service competition with this place! I use to worry about laughing too hard or smiling to big because of my teeth but Mattingly and Howell gave me the confidence to enjoy the moments and smile as big and laugh as hard as I want! Thank you all for everything! For a gorgeous smile for my self and Kenzie! I’m gonna miss seeing you all on a regular!"
"There was never a day that I went in and wasn’t greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. Everyone called me by my name as if they knew me my entire life and just made me feel like I was a part of their family. They are all professional and all so nice. The appointment times are flexible and they were always able to get me in very quick for my next appointments. Not only are they flexible but the appointments are quick. They will spend as much time as I needed to answer all my questions but when it came down to them working on my teeth, they were very fast and efficient. They work like a well oiled machine and because of this, there is almost never a wait to be seen on time which is very hard to find these days. I highly recommend Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics to everyone!"
"I can’t say enough good things about Mattingly & Howell!! From my initial consultation to my deband everyone was AWESOME! They have become my friends over the past 16 months and I will truly miss seeing them on a regular basis. However, I don’t miss the braces, but LOVE the results! At my age I never thought I would have straight teeth again. Thanks to Mattingly & Howell, I do!"
"The most talented, professional, accommodating, efficient, effective, passionate orthodontists and staff! I would HIGHLY recommend them, and them only to ANYONE needing orthodontic care. I had braces and orthodontic treatment as a child and then again as an adult. I also had a very complicated case. They really are all about smiles from the first time you walk in any of their practices to the celebratory, milestone day you get your braces off. They absolutely make anyone from a young child to a seasoned adult feel right and home and completely confident that they are with you 100% and they will see you through to your goals. I actually miss going in there to see all the people from the receptionists to the assistants to the doctors. CHOOSE MATTINGLY & HOWELL. They do amazing work and make it a wonderful experience. Love these people :)"
"They are wonderful at Mattingly and Howell. Excellent and friendly service. They make sure it is done right. I recommend this place to anyone who needs braces!"
"I have two daughters in braces right now, every time we are in the staff is ALWAYS personable and polite. Both DR. Howell and Dr. Mattingly are informational, caring, and genuine. I have received after hours calls on weekends and holidays to check on the girls after they have received different appliances during their stages of orthodontic work. I feel like Mattingly and Howell's entire staff goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care to my family. I am so glad we chose them for our families orthodontic needs!"
"I finished my two years of braces in December 2011 and the results have been wonderful. I was a little nervous getting braces at first since I was 34 at the time but knew I wanted to get my under bite corrected and braces were recommended by my dentist. From my first consultation until the time I got my braces off, both Dr. Mattingly and Dr. Howell and the staff were nothing less than amazing. Each visit to the office I always received a warm welcome and they made the experience as pleasant as possible. I followed the doctor's orders about what not to each, about flossing, and keeping up with regular dental care. I had pictures taken before I got the braces on and when I got them off and I was amazed with the results. I wear my retainer every night and still have the same wonderful smile I did when I got my braces off (I have received lots of compliments on my smile). I would definitely recommend Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics to anyone looking to improve their smile!"
"My daughter has just completed her two years with braces with Mattingly & Howell. From the first time we walked into their office to the last appointment the experience was awesome. The staff was very welcoming. Drs. Mattingly & Howell are very personable and get to know you and your kids as a person. They some how make going to the dentist fun for the kids. My wife and I are gearing up for my younger daughter to start the process next year. We know exactly what were in for and knowing that will make the experience very pleasant."
"We are now currently on our 4th set of braces in our family, yikes!I cannot say enough about the amazing staff at Mattingly and Howell! From the first phone call inquiring about our first child's braces to now, we have had nothing but the utmost respect and praise for every single person on the staff! What a warm and inviting environment! It feels a bit like home!The smiles in our family are a bit bigger after seeing the great results we have had at Mattingly and Howell! Would not go anywhere else!"
"With 4 kids in braces, we have spent some time at Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics over the past few years! Everyone was friendly and polite, every single visit. One of the best things was that the wait was never very long. They are very good about getting patients in for their appointments very quickly. And now, our kids have beautiful, straight teeth. I would highly recommend this practice! Sheila Mays"
"Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics is phenomenal! The doctors and staff werealways friendly and professional. We never felt rushed. They patientlyanswered all of my many questions about my son's treatment. They werealways on time with our appointments. We will definitely use them again andrecommend them to friends and family. We are very pleased with the end result and my son LOVES his smile."
"I am very sad to say my experience with Drs Mattingly & Howell is coming to an end. My oldest child who is now 21 had braces through them and my youngest child just got his braces off today. The drs and staff that work there are always friendly and helpful and you can call on them anytime. When my youngest son had an ortho emergency, Dr. Howell came to the Stony Brook location from his Bardstown home on a Friday night and worked with him for well over an hour. I will never forget my experience with this office and will truly miss the drs and staff at this location."
"Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics Psc has provided orthodontic care for two of my four sons. I could not be more pleased with our experiences. My second son expects to have his braces removed in just a few months, and my third son just had his braces placed on his teeth. Every person we have encountered has gone above and beyond to ensure that our experiences are as pleasant as possible. Drs. Mattingly and Howell are always fun for my kids to "visit." I would absolutely recommend this practice to any friend or family member in need of orthodontic care. Luckily my oldest son did not need braces but if it is determined that my youngest son requires them, we will definitely continue being treated by this wonderful group of healthcare practitioners."
