Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (56.0%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Bernhard Foerster GmbH accounts for 99.8% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $275,000 and has fallen 72.5% since, to $75,577 in 2025. Among orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics clinicians in CT 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 124 payments — averaging $10,484 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
