    Abstract: An indirect orthodontic bonding (IDB) tray preloaded with one or more orthodontic brackets with uncured pre-pasted adhesive. The loaded IDB tray can be produced by an IDB tray manufacturer and distributed to an orthodontist in a container that prevents the adhesive from curing. The loaded IDB tray can be removed from the container when the patient is ready for treatment. The loaded IDB tray can be placed over the dental arch of the patient such that the one or more orthodontic brackets can bond, via curing of the adhesive, to the teeth of the patient.
