1. A method to support dental patient scheduling relating to one or more dental appliances, comprising:
- providing a server transmitting via a network information relating to a manufacturing stage of one or more dental appliances, the network coupled to one or more patient computers;
accessing a database having information regarding manufacturing progress of the one or more dental appliances;
determining whether the manufacturing progress has reached a predetermined stage;
automatically transmitting manufacturing progress information to a patient computer over a wide area network in the absence of the patient prompting the server to communicate the manufacturing progress information, the transmitting occurring prior to completion of all manufacturing operations for each of the appliances; and
performing patient scheduling when one or more dental appliances reach a predetermined manufacturing progress, patient scheduling occurring prior to completion of all manufacturing operations for each of the appliances.
