What needs to be done to tell google my site has moved /changed

[nutjobshell]

Hi everyone,

I have a site, which I have re-built on a temporary domain, so that my main ecommerce site can still run..  I have noticed that google has already crawled my temporary domain. The only problem is I now want to transfer the new site back onto its proper domain (www.ourbrand.com).  I have changed some of the URL structures of the new site so realize I will need to do re-directs relating to the same domain, but will google get confused that another domain used to have my new website on?

I don't plan on using the old temporary domain again and wondered if I need to tell google in some way it was used just to build my site on?

Once you do the transfer, robot.txt the old temporary domain.
