[quote=chinglnc post_id=494324 time=1495878870 user_id=29938] Thanks for sharing, nybizzle. It's a shock to me that "Invisalign certification is amazingly just an 8 hour course that any dentist can take."- I would have never thought that!!! [/quote] I'm astonished that they can just give a...

It's really unfortunate that there are still so many doctors that can be so unprofessional especially when treating such sensitive parts of body as mouth/face.
