Certified providers of OJW: Weight-Control will know how to:
 

CHOOSE HEALTHY PATIENTS... 

Likely to succeed in attaining a weight-loss goal of their own choosing, in order to remedy their compulsive overeating habits, while acting as part of a Healthcare team.
 

FIT PATIENTS WITH AN OJW:WEIGHT CONTROL APPLIANCE...
 
After they have provided proper Informed consent, when released by their physician to begin a long-term, low-calorie liquid diet.
 

TEACH THEM HOW TO REWIRE THEMSELVES...
 
When necessary, under the OJW Protocol in which the dentist's sole responsibility is to maintain the health of the patient's teeth, gums and jaw joint.
