Jeremy Manuele, or “Dr. J” as he’s often referred to, is a Las Vegas native who graduated from Community College High School. In keeping with his lifelong goal of becoming an Orthodontist, he received his Bachelor of Science degree and Doctor of Dental Medicine from UNLV, graduating summa cum laude, and was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honorary Dental Society.

Committed to maintaining excellence in his field, Dr. J teaches orthodontics part-time at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine.
Inspired by the service of his grandfather and step-father, Dr. J joined the Army National Guard when he was 17. Nine months after being married to the love of his life, Nicole, he was deployed to Ramadi, Iraq for 18 months. He served our country with the 222nd field artillery unit as a “gunner” and is currently serving as a Major in a local medical unit.
Dr. J; his wife, Nicole; and their 4 beautiful children, Bailey, Carter, Maycee, and Weston, are excited to be back home in Las Vegas. On the weekends, there’s a good chance you could run into them hiking at Mt. Charleston, biking through Red Rock Canyon, camping at Valley of Fire, or attending one of the kids’ recitals or sporting events.
Dr J is most knowledgeable in the latest orthodontic techniques, technology, and current research. More importantly, his high level of empathy, professionalism, effective communication, and personal integrity make him the ideal partner for Dr. Hamilton. When working together, Drs. Manuele and Hamilton create a synergy that both doctors feel is at a level above their own individual efforts. They are excited about transforming your experience and smile at Hamilton & Manuele Orthodontics.
