Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (55.8%), speaking fees and entertainment — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by American Orthodontics Corporation at 45.7% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $3,907, more than ten times the $204 reported in 2019. Among orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics clinicians in TX 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 132 payments — averaging $86.20 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
