Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $753,326 of the $815,562 with a category attached, or 92.4%. Align Technology, Inc. accounts for 100.0% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $380,290, 9.9 times the $38,381 reported in 2019. Among general practice clinicians in NJ 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 447 payments — averaging $1824.52 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

| Dentsply Sirona Orthodontics Inc | 1 | $11 |
What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
