How do you watch out for tipping of molars?

I have been trying to read various posts prior to my starting with the Invisalign treatment. One of the topics that seems concerning to me is the tipping of molars. I am not totally certain what that means, but assume it means that they lean forward into an area of a previous extraction, or larger space. How do you monitor for that, especially since it sounds like some of the ortho docs are not as sensitive to that until it is a major problem?
I just had the molds done one week ago, and I will go back in one more week to get a preliminary upper and lower tray. The ortho assistant said this will give me time to adjust to wearing them when I speak, and also I can use them with whitening gel which they will supply prior to starting with the actual Invisalign trays.
