I have also consulted with a dentist.. but he hasn't informed me of any of the things i asked above.. I had to do some research myself and ask.. I already paid him 700 up front for the impressions.. so its too late to change my mind.. in a few weeks i will have my actual aligners.. i regret not doing some more research, and perhaps finding a better doctor, before deciding on him.. Im worried now, that hes not as knowlegeable about invisalign as i had first assumed... but in order for a dentist to receive the alignersn and see a clincheck, they would have to be certified, right? The invisalign co, wouldn't give there products to someone who isn't certified.. I would at least hope so.
I keep a toothbrush and toothpaste in my purse and in my desk at work. I also have floss in my purse. I'm a walking, talking dental machine

Hopefully, you'll be able to develop a better rapport with your dentist (dentist or orthodontist?). I'm not sure how much training they need to "prescribe" invisalign. I'm sure there is something, though, but i don't know. You might be able to look on the invisalign website for more information about that.
