    Abstract: Methods of directly bonding a non-sliding archform to a patient's teeth are disclosed herein. An IDB tray with wells sized and shaped to form orthodontic brackets can be filled with a fluid, such as an adhesive or bonding agent. The IDB tray with the fluid-filled wells can be placed over the teeth of the patient. The fluid in the wells can contact the surfaces of the teeth. The fluid can be cured by way of exposure to UV light, forming orthodontic brackets and bonding the orthodontic brackets to the patient's teeth.

    Abstract: An indirect bonding (IDB) tray that can be positioned over a single tooth of a patient. The IDB tray can include a well to receive an orthodontic bracket therein. The IDB tray can be 3D printed with a rigid photopolymer material and a soft photopolymer material. The soft photopolymer material may be disposed on a gingival portion of the IDB tray such that the soft photopolymer material can be positioned proximate the gums of the patient to improve patient comfort and/or accommodate gum remodeling due to tooth movement. The soft photopolymer material may be disposed around an inner periphery of the well to facilitate bracket insertion and/or release from the well. The IDB tray can include separation indicia indicating where the IDB tray can be sectioned. The IDB tray can include long axis lines to indicate proper orientation of the IDB tray on a patient's one or more teeth.
