Is a wax ring the best technology to seal between toilet and flange?
Since wax is not elastic, slight movement while attaching (or after
attaching) the toilet back on could cause the seal to become broken.
Any better alternative?

As for the wax ring, it does work as well as the installer does
his/her job.
As for alterntives, there are 'wax-less' products I've seen in
HD/Lowes. Big O-rings, etc.

I wish I cold use them. My drain line makes a turn down just below the
flange and this product will not work for me.
