1. A system for manufacturing orthodontic appliances, the system comprising:
- a server comprising storage media having one or more instructions that when executed cause the server to;
receive digitized data representing the patient'"'"'s teeth and case type data for the patient;
process the digitized data and the case type data so as to generate one or more manipulable three-dimensional computer models of the patient'"'"'s teeth, the one or more manipulable three-dimensional computer models representing a sequential treatment plan for the patient'"'"'s teeth;
transmit the one or more manipulable three-dimensional computer models representing the sequential treatment plan to a computer associated with one or more treating professionals;
receive, from the computer associated with the one or more treating professionals, feedback data including either one of;
(a) an adjustment to a tooth position in at least one of the one or more manipulable three-dimensional computer models of the patient'"'"'s teeth, or (b) an approval of the sequential treatment plan; and
process the feedback data so as to generate a plurality of digital data sets for manufacturing a plurality of sequential orthodontic appliances; and
a fabrication machine configured to;
receive at least one of the plurality of digital data sets; and
manufacture at least one of the plurality of sequential orthodontic appliances based on the digital data sets.
