Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $985,295 of the $1,125,503 with a category attached, or 87.5%. Align Technology, Inc. accounts for 97.6% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $383,161, more than ten times the $22,658 reported in 2019. Among dentist clinicians in FL 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.
