    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.
