Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 95.2% of the total across 133 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by Ormco Corporation at 50.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $2,658 and has fallen 58.2% since, to $1,112 in 2025. Among orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics clinicians in CO with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 133 payments — averaging $55.33 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
