Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (55.7%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Align Technology, Inc. accounts for 63.2% of it on its own, with 9 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $183,526 and has fallen 99.8% since, to $414 in 2025. Among orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 248 payments — averaging $2201.44 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
