Abstract
Systems and methods include determining, by an appointment management system, a condition that an appointment to conduct an intraoral scan at an intraoral scanning site has been missed by a user, automatically generating a message to the user indicating that an at-home dental impression kit can be sent to the user based on determining that the appointment has been missed, and transmitting the automatically generated message to a communications device associated with the user.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computer system, that an appointment to conduct an intraoral scan of a mouth of a user at an intraoral scanning site has been missed by the user, wherein determining that the appointment has been missed by the user includes automatically determining that a threshold time has elapsed since a time associated with the appointment;
- automatically generating a message to the user indicating that an at-home dental impression kit can be sent to the user based on determining that the appointment has been missed;
- transmitting the automatically generated message to a communications device associated with the user;
- and
- producing, by a fabrication system, one or more aligners based on at least one of a completed at-home dental impression kit from the user or one or more images obtained of the user's teeth.

A system comprising:
- one or more processors and memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
- determine that an appointment to conduct an intraoral scan of a mouth of a user at an intraoral scanning site has been missed by the user, wherein determining that the appointment has been missed by the user includes automatically determining that a threshold time has elapsed since a time associated with the appointment;
- automatically generate a message to the user configured to facilitate delivery of an at-home dental impression kit to the user based on determining that the appointment has been missed;
- transmit the automatically generated message to a communications device associated with the user;
- and
- a fabrication system producing one or more aligners based on at least one of a completed at-home dental impression kit from the user or one or more images obtained of the user's teeth.

- sending an at-home dental impression kit to the user based on determining that the appointment has been missed by the user;
- and
- producing, by a fabrication system, one or more aligners based on at least one of receiving a completed at-home dental impression kit from the user or one or more images obtained of the user's teeth.
