How to proceed:

ESSENTIAL TO KNOW: I determine whether you are a good candidate (likely to achieve your goal weight) after reviewing THREE VERY IMPORTANT FORMS:  Please read and carefully complete the The Informed Consent for OJW  and sign in four places and email back to me. Now download the  MEDICAL-DENTAL  HISTORY FORM  and the ADULT ACQUAINTANCE FORM , complete them and Fax  them back to me (718  852 1551).You will need to provide me with a note from your physician prior to the OJW appointment that says "you may begin a long-term, low-calorie liquid diet." After you  have provided me with the requested documents I will provide you on request the email addresses of the last two OJW® patients who will share their experiences with you. You will find below much illuminating information about the OJW service and how it can help you to accomplish your weight-control goals. How OJW works  See the letter sent to members of the dental and medical profession and educators re a documentary film on the subject.

Dear would-be OJW® patient:

 I provide this service with pleasure and truly believe in it, because I have provided it to many patents who expressed delight in the success they achieved regaining control of their self destructive eating habits. OJW is not for everyone and success with OJW is not guaranteed. I try to select candidates on the basis of whether I believe they are likely to be successful with this approach to weight control.  HOW and WHY OJW helps is understandable if you read my explanation. you might also like to read"  "Why do we eat when we're not hungry?" Answer

If you are considering coming to my office in Brooklyn, New York then please familiarize yourself with the information provided at:

http://www.drted.com/index.html.bak2/jaw_wiring.htm .  If you are still interested complete: The Informed Consent for OJW  and email it to me, and then download, complete and fax to me the two other documents requested on it. When I receive all three I will call you.  Complete the Informed Consent and be sure to sign/initial it in all four places requested. 

The fee for OJW is presently $2685 (Holidays special between October 23-Jan 30: $1995). The fee covers all office visits including the visit for the OJW wiring until the brackets are removed. Moreover, you will receive the link to the  OJW Forum/chatroom/message board exclusively for OJW patients, on the drted.com website, to allow sharing with each other
 their experiences and thoughts before, during and after OJW. The link to this forum site is provided only to the OJWed past and  present.

Please read below: "Who is NOT a good candidate for OJW". 

Thank you for your inquiry.  Cordially, Dr. Ted

DIRECTIONS FROM ALL AIRPORTS TO THE OFFICE

Cordially,   Dr. Ted

 Question: Who is not a good candidate for this procedure?

Answer: Your mouth has many functions both obvious (talking) and not so obvious (sneezing) and is therefore the source of many pleasurable activities. The loss of any of them may provoke anxiety. Therefore one should think carefully about undertaking this method of weight control.

A partial list of poor candidates for OJW would include:

a. Persons who need to floss their teeth due to gum problems or other compulsive reasons.

b. Persons who speak abundantly for business or other reasons whose speech might be rendered less than perfectly clear because of being wired closed.

                        Hear Valerie in OJW (same day)  Feb 2002 Listen to Valerie

                        Hear Pamela In OJW (next day) May 2008  Listen to Pamela

c. Persons whose sex life would be rendered intolerable if intimate oral functions were impaired… even a little.

d. Persons with multiple-missing, loose or decayed teeth

e. Those with psychological or emotional disorders who might feel powerless/ panicky with their mouths wired closed.

f. Those whose work functions might be impaired such as an actor, singer, waiter, teacher etc.

g. Persons with systemic diseases such as diabetics whose diets could not accommodate a liquid diet.

h. Persons who cannot breathe through their nose and whose breathing might be compromised by being held continuously in a closed bite teeth position.

i. Those who are highly allergic are more at risk.

j. Persons who have respiratory ailments such as snoring and/or sleep apnea as well as those who must use use a broncho-dilator spray such as asthmatics.

k. Persons who have a history of Temporo-Mandibular Joint dysfunction (TMJ). Learn more about the TMJ: [Information source number 1], [Information source number 2].

l. Persons who are taking oral pill/capsule form medications could encounter some difficulties trying to pass a large capsule into the mouth behind the last teeth. It would be virtually impossible if the wisdom teeth were fully in place.

m. Persons who compulsively clench/brux/gnash their teeth.

n. Persons who have, or are suspected of having, anorexia or bulemia to begin with.

o. Persons with frank unresolved periodontal (gum-tooth socket) problems.

p. Persons who drink alcoholic beverages. (Alcohol suppresses the gag reflex). In the event of alcoholic intoxication vomiting can occur. [See note from respected oral-surgeon/orthodontist educator.]

q. Persons who 1. will not provide a telephone number 2. do not have an Email address. 3. below the age of 21 unless accompanied by a parent. 4. are NOT more than 125 pounds overweight or less than 25 pounds overweight (i.e moderately obese and obese, but not "morbidly" obese).

In 2009 I asked my OJW patients to respond to a pressing comprehensive Questionnaire Survey: See their responses  (Excel spread sheet).
