Systems for manufacturing oral-based hearing aid appliances utilizing var ious manufacturing methods and apparatus are described herein. The oral appl iance may have an electronic and/or transducer assembly for receiving incomi ng sounds and transmitting processed sounds via a vibrating transducer eleme nt coupled to a tooth or teeth. The oral appliance may be formed or fabricat ed via three-dimensional digital scanning systems or via impression molding to create a housing for the electronics and/or transducer assembly as well a s to securely conform the appliance to the user's dentition.
