Ted Rothstein, DDS, PhD, Brooklyn, NY, has received a trademark from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the term "OJW." OJW is an acronym for Orthodontic Jaw Wiring, a method of weight control that Rothstein’s office has been offering for more than 10 years.

Rothstein (pictured) has also produced a documentary aimed at encouraging dental professionals to provide these services to help the obese regain control of their excessive eating habits using the OJW system.
