Abstract: A method includes sending a dental impression kit to a user, the dental impression kit including a dental tray, a base putty, and a catalyst putty, where the base putty and the catalyst putty are mixable to form a putty mixture for creating dental impressions. The method further includes receiving an image provided by the user of an initial dental impression created by the user in the putty mixture, and communicating with the user based on the image of the initial dental impression. The method further includes receiving a redundant dental impression created by the user after the communication with the user, and manufacturing, based on the redundant dental impression, a plurality of dental aligners specific to the user and being configured to reposition one or more teeth of the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for arranging an intraoral scanning at a selected location. A user can request an appointment at a selected intraoral scanning site from a plurality of intraoral scanning sites. In requesting the appointment at the intraoral scanning site, the user can provide various information for reserving the appointment. The user can make the request online (e.g., via an internet scheduling website associated with the intraoral scanning site). The request can also include a selected time for the appointment. The schedule for the selected intraoral scanning site can be analyzed to determine that the selected time for the appointment is available. When the appointment is scheduled for the user, one or more automatically generated messages can be communicated to the customer.

Abstract: A method of administering the contents of a dental impression kit includes receiving a dental impression kit including a container containing an initial dental assembly, a redundant dental assembly, a return request, and putty provided in a sufficient amount to be positioned in the dental trays for creating dental impressions, where the return request specifies a predetermined time frame for returning the dental impressions to an entity associated with the manufacture of dental aligners. The method further includes administering the dental assemblies to create the dental impressions, and returning the dental impressions according to the return request, where the dental impressions provide information necessary to manufacture a plurality of dental aligners specific to a user and being configured to reposition one or more teeth of the user.

Abstract: A dental impression kit includes a container including a dental assembly that includes a dental tray and a predetermined amount of base putty and catalyst putty, where the base putty and the catalyst putty are mixable to form a putty mixture, and the predetermined amount of base putty and catalyst putty are amounts sufficient such that the putty mixture can be positioned in the dental tray for creating a dental impression. The dental impression kit includes instructions instructing a user to administer the dental assembly to create the dental impression, where the dental impression provides information necessary to manufacture a plurality of dental aligners specific to the user and being configured to reposition one or more teeth of the user, and where the predetermined amounts of the base putty and the catalyst putty are in the range of 0.5 ounces and 1.5 ounces.

Abstract: A system for remote orthodontic treatment and assessment includes an application server to receive multiple images that represent the teeth of a user and receive an approval from a staff device that indicates a person has approved the images for assessment by a provider. The application server is further receive another approval from a provider device that indicates that the provider has assessed fitness of the user for treatment. The application server may receive the images from a user device. The application server may receive an approval from the provider device that indicates that a treatment plan is approved. In response to receiving the approval of the treatment plan, the application server optimizes 3D models of the treatment plan and provides a visualization of the 3D models to a user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods of remote orthodontic treatment include receiving a plurality of images from a customer where the plurality of images represent teeth of the customer, receiving a first approval from a staff computing device where the first approval is indicative of a staff user approving the plurality of images for assessment by a dental professional, receiving a second approval from a provider computing device where the second approval is indicative of the provider approving a fitness of the customer for treatment, generating, in response to receiving the second approval, a treatment plan including a series of steps to reposition at least one tooth of the teeth of the customer, and manufacturing one or more aligners based at least in part on the treatment plan where the aligners are specific to the customer and are configured to reposition the at least one tooth of the teeth of the customer.
