1. A method comprising:
determining, by a computer system, a condition that dental impressions have not been received from a user within a threshold time period, the user having been provided with an in-home dental impression kit, wherein exceeding the threshold time period indicates a likelihood of not receiving the dental impressions from the user;
generating and communicating, by the computer system, a message to the user based on the condition, the message prompting the user to schedule an appointment at an intraoral scanning site;
receiving, by the computer system, a request to schedule an appointment at the intraoral scanning site, the intraoral scanning site having an intraoral scanner configured to conduct an intraoral scan of a mouth of the user;
conducting, using the intraoral scanner, the intraoral scan at the intraoral scanning site, the intraoral scan generating three-dimensional data of the mouth of the user;
causing fabrication, by a fabrication system, of a plurality of aligners based on the three-dimensional data.
