Abstract
Systems and methods for intraoral scanning include determining, by an appointment management system, a condition that dental impressions have not been received from a user within a threshold time period where the user was provided with an in-home dental impression kit, generating and communicating a message to the user based on the condition where the message prompts the user to schedule an appointment at an intraoral scanning site, receiving a request to schedule an appointment at the intraoral scanning site where the intraoral scanning site has an intraoral scanner configured to conduct an intraoral scan of a mouth of the user, and conducting the intraoral scan using the intraoral scanner at the intraoral scanning site where the intraoral scan generates three-dimensional data of the mouth of the user.
