Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (44.8%), food and beverage and gifts — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. World Class Technology Corporation accounts for 82.8% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $10,898, more than ten times the $752 reported in 2019. Among orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics clinicians in CA 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 144 payments — averaging $154.85 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
