1. A method for generating a three-dimensional (3D)-printed medical appliance treatment plan and providing a set of 3D-printed medical appliances based on the 3D-printed medical appliance treatment plan, the method comprising:
printing, using a 3D printing device based on a patient-specific shape formed to fit a body part of the patient, a starter 3D-printed medical appliance configured to cause initial movement of the body part of the patient, the starter 3D-printed medical appliance including a trial aligner medical appliance, the trial aligner comprising a no-movement tray, wherein the starter 3D-printed medical appliance is printed by the 3D printing device before the patient begins a 3D-printed medical appliance treatment plan;
generating a dynamic 3D-printed medical appliance treatment plan generation model;
obtaining a patient record for a patient;
receiving 3D scanning data of the patient;
generating the 3D-printed medical appliance treatment plan by applying the patient record and the 3D scanning data of the patient to the dynamic 3D-printed medical appliance treatment plan generation model, wherein the generating is based at least partially on the starter 3D-printed medical appliance;
providing the 3D-printed medical appliance treatment plan to a medical practitioner;
providing a manufacturing request to a manufacturer system for manufacturing a set of 3D-printed medical appliances;
manufacturing, in response to receiving the manufacturing request, the set of 3D-printed medical appliances;
providing the set of 3D-printed medical appliances to the patient;
receiving feedback from the medical practitioner regarding the 3D-printed medical appliance treatment plan;
modifying the dynamic 3D-printed medical appliance treatment plan generation model based on the feedback from the medical practitioner.
