1. 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.
