Abstract:
Improved dental appliances and polymeric sheet compositions are disclosed. The polymeric sheet compositions are useful for making dental appliances having outer layers comprised of a material having a modulus of from about 1,000 MPA to 2,500 MPA (“hard”) and an inner core comprised of elastomeric material or materials having a modulus of from about 50 MPa to 500 MPa (“soft”), which exhibit improved flexibility and strength, and better stain and tear resistance than currently available materials and dental appliances.

Claim (Index 8):
The composition of  claim 2 , wherein one or more of the A and C layers comprises a co-polyester comprised of:\n (a) a dicarboxylic acid component comprising 70 mole % to 100 mole % of terephthalic acid residues, and (b) a diol component comprising\n i) 0 to 95% ethylene glycol, \n ii) 5 mole % to 50 mole % of 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol residues, \n iii) 50 mole % to 95 mole % 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol residues, and \n iv) 0 to 1% of a polyol having three or more hydroxyl groups, \n wherein the sum of the mole % of diol residues i), ii), iii) and iv) amounts to 100 mole % and the copolyester exhibits a glass transition temperature Tg from 80\u00b0 C. to 150\u00b0 C.
