Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — education (44.5%), speaking fees and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Lightforce Orthodontics, Inc. accounts for 96.1% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics clinicians in MN 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 145 payments — averaging $1152.45 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
