7 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein adjusting the treatment plan comprises adjusting the one or more teeth in the graphical visualization, and wherein adjusting the one or more teeth further comprises updating at least one parameter of the graphical visualization.

8 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein selection of the interactive object causes the 3D representation to transform from a first 3D representation to a second 3D representation.

9 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the first 3D representation depicts the one or more teeth of the user in a final position, and the second 3D representation depicts the one or more teeth of the user in an initial position.

10 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the transformation highlights a difference between the one or more teeth in the final position and the one or more teeth in the initial position.

11 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the graphical visualization comprises a planned final position of the one or more teeth after the user has completed the treatment plan.

12 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the graphical visualization is accessible via a user portal accessible via log-in credentials, and wherein the display further comprises visual indicia superimposed over the one or more teeth of the user based on the treatment plan.

13 . A method of visualizing a treatment of teeth, the method comprising:

capturing, by a user device, a representation representing one or more teeth of a user via a camera of a user device;

transmitting, by the user device, the representation to a treatment planning system;

receiving, by the user device, a graphical visualization of a treatment plan for moving the one or more teeth of the user from the treatment planning system, the graphical visualization generated based on the representation;

displaying, by the user device, the graphical visualization, wherein the graphical visualization comprises:

a three-dimensional (3D) representation corresponding to the one or more teeth of the user; and

an interactive object associated with the treatment plan.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the representation comprises a plurality of images of a user's dentition, wherein the plurality of images are from specific angles.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the graphical visualization further comprises at least one of a view of one or more stages of the treatment plan, a view of one or more alternative treatment plans, an interactive tool for modifying the treatment plan, or a checkout option.

16 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the user device, the treatment plan to a fabrication system based on a user input, wherein the fabrication system is configured to manufacture a plurality of dental aligners based on the treatment plan, wherein the plurality of dental aligners are specific to the user and are configured to move the one or more teeth of the user according to the treatment plan.

17 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the interactive object is configured to enable a selection of the treatment plan by the user device, and wherein the selection comprises at least one of purchasing the treatment plan, ordering the treatment plan, or a selection of a preferred treatment plan from among two or more treatment plans.

18 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the user device, a user input to adjust the treatment plan; and

transmitting, by the user device, a request to adjust the treatment plan to the treatment planning system based on receiving the user input.
