Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (45.8%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Ortho Organizers, Inc. accounts for 99.7% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $84,101 and has fallen 97.0% since, to $2,500 in 2025. Among orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics clinicians in WA 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.
