Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $1,361,065 of the $1,844,893 with a category attached, or 73.8%. Align Technology, Inc. accounts for 99.9% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $796,889, more than ten times the $850 reported in 2019. Among orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics clinicians in NC 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.

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.

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.

How this compares

$1,844,893 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 288 orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics providers in North Carolina.
