Treating the main

in the dental office by
OJW: Weight control--
an alternative option to
removable appliances
and gastro-intestinal
surgery
My work demonstrates
that Dental Professionals
are welcomed by the public
as providers of weight control
services as part of a Healthcare
team that includes dieticians,
physicians, psychotherapists,
and bariatric surgeons.
OJW is a fixed intra-oral,
bio-mechanical appliance
and protocol for controlling
compulsive overeating in
carefully selected patients
who are obese/heading
toward obesity, that help
them start regaining control
over compulsive eating habits
“CEEP” with potentially
grave health consequences.
One of those is OSA/Sleep
Apnea which can be a life-
threatening condition whose
main symptom--snoring--has
become the focus of attention
Teddy Rothstein
OJW Protocol, USA
of Dentists who only treat
its symptom. Using OJW:
Weight-Control. I show how
the Dentist can treat its most
common CAUSE--Obesity. I
will show how the wiring is
placed to put the jaw into
“Rothstein’s OJW position of
Mandibular Weightlessness”
thereby limiting the extent
they can open their jaw thus
preventing the ingestion of
“Comfort” foods—the “bad”
ones. Permission to begin a
liquid diet is obtained from
their physician. The clarity of
speech is unaffected, and the
teeth never shift. Seemingly
extreme, after eighteen years
providing OJW, it is arguably
rather a benign non-invasive,
safe and effective method,
when using my protocol (55-
LCLD). Under my protocol,
the DENTIST is responsible for
maintaining the health of the
TMJ, Dentition, and Gingiva.
The PATIENT is responsible
for losing weight by dint of
their passionate dedication
and adherence to a long-term,
Low-Calorie, Liquid Diet “LCLD”
authorized by their physician
or proxy (psychotherapist)
with guidance from dietitian-
nutritionists. My presentation
will enumerate the myriad
consequences of obesity,
and the Dentist’s function as
a member of a Healthcare
team. I will describe the
appliance and how-why it
works, and address safety and
effectiveness by referencing
to a questionnaire I mounted
in 2009 and describe the
document-forms I use
including an Informed Consent.
I describe good and poor
candidates and how to address
common problems. I will
list the ten most important
elements of the OJW Service.
