1. A method of simultaneously forming a bite turbo on a first tooth of a patient and adhering an orthodontic bracket on a second tooth of the patient with an indirect bonding tray, the method comprising:
flowing a moldable material into a first well of an indirect bonding tray;
placing an orthodontic bracket into a second well of the indirect bonding tray, the orthodontic bracket configured to secure an archwire;
applying adhesive to the orthodontic bracket;
placing the indirect bonding tray over a first tooth and a second tooth of a patient with the moldable material in the first well and the orthodontic bracket with applied adhesive in the second well;
curing the moldable material and adhesive, wherein curing the moldable material in the well forms the bite turbo on the first tooth of the patient to aid in functional tooth movement to facilitate crossbite or sagittal correction, and wherein curing the adhesive applied to the orthodontic bracket bonds the orthodontic bracket to the second tooth of the patient; and
removing the indirect bonding tray from the tooth of the patient.
