Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Charles Brodsky

Sourced directly from Dr. Charles Brodsky's social posts and replies.

What should I know about tooth movement after orthodontic treatment and when should I get a smile check?
Even after orthodontic treatment, teeth can gradually shift over time, especially if retainer wear becomes inconsistent. It's important to address these changes early as they are easier to correct. You should consider a smile check if your teeth look a little different, your retainer doesn’t fit quite right, or your smile just feels 'off.'

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$578

Payments

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Charles Brodsky received $578 across 9 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 57% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Align Technology, Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
