Abstract: Systems and methods for producing aligners for repositioning one or more teeth of a user include a management system including a communications device, a processor, and memory. The management system receives a selection of a patient-intake option made by a user via a user interface displaying a first option for an intraoral scan to be taken of the user's teeth or for dental impressions to be made of the user's teeth. The management system schedules an appointment for the intraoral scan or the delivery of the impression kit to the user, and generates and causes transmission of a plurality of messages to the user. Aligners are manufactured and sent to the user based on a treatment plan generated based on the scan or the dental impressions. The treatment plan is approved by a dentist or an orthodontist without the approving dentist or orthodontist having physically seen the user.
