How to Choose the Right Thermoforming Sheets for Your Lab
- Material Type — EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) is soft, flexible, and shock-absorbing, making it the standard choice for night guards and mouthguards; PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol) is rigid and optically clear, better suited to whitening trays, hard splints, and model duplication.
- Sheet Thickness — 1.0–1.5mm sheets suit flexible retainers and whitening trays where comfort matters most; 1.5–2.0mm is the standard range for durable occlusal night guards; heavier 3–4mm sheets are reserved for hard splints or duplicate working models needing higher rigidity.
- Disc Diameter — Most dental vacuum-forming machines take a standard 120–125mm round disc; confirm the sheet diameter matches your machine's frame before ordering in bulk, since an oversized or undersized disc won't seat correctly.
- Clarity and Transparency — PETG sheets offer higher optical clarity than EVA, which matters for whitening trays and try-in appliances where the patient or clinician needs to see through the material during fitting.
- Forming Temperature Compatibility — EVA and PETG soften at different temperature ranges; check your vacuum-forming unit's wattage and cycle settings support the specific sheet material, since underheating leaves a sheet that won't fully adapt to model undercuts.
- Pack Size and Consistency — Buying sheets in 100-disc packs from a single manufacturer batch reduces thickness and clarity variation between appliances, which matters for a lab producing guards or trays at volume.
Thermoforming Sheet Types at a Glance
| Material | Typical Thickness | Clarity | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soft EVA | 1.5–2.0mm | Translucent | Night guards, mouthguards |
| Hard/dual-laminate EVA | 2.0–3.0mm | Translucent | Heavy-bruxism night guards |
| PETG | 0.75–1.5mm | Clear | Whitening trays, retainers, model duplication |

Frequently Asked Questions
EVA vs. PETG thermoforming sheets — what is the difference?
EVA vs. PETG thermoforming sheets — what is the difference?
EVA is a soft, flexible, shock-absorbing polymer used mainly for night guards and mouthguards, while PETG is a rigid, optically clear thermoplastic used for whitening trays, hard splints, and model duplication. The choice depends on whether the finished appliance needs cushioning comfort (EVA) or rigidity and clarity (PETG).
What sheet thickness should I use for a night guard vs. a whitening tray?
What sheet thickness should I use for a night guard vs. a whitening tray?
A standard occlusal night guard is typically formed from a 1.5–2.0mm EVA sheet for adequate wear resistance against bruxism forces. A whitening tray is usually formed from a thinner 0.75–1.0mm PETG sheet, since flexibility and close adaptation to the teeth matter more than bulk for gel retention.
Can the same vacuum-forming machine handle both EVA and PETG sheets?
Can the same vacuum-forming machine handle both EVA and PETG sheets?
Most dental vacuum-forming units can process both materials, but EVA and PETG soften at different temperatures and heating durations, so the machine's cycle settings should be adjusted per material rather than using one default setting for both.
How many appliances does a typical 100-disc pack of thermoforming sheets cover?
How many appliances does a typical 100-disc pack of thermoforming sheets cover?
A 100-disc pack yields roughly 100 single appliances under normal handling, though remakes for a misformed sheet or a case needing a duplicate model will reduce that yield in practice for a busy Egyptian lab.
How should thermoforming sheets be stored in Egypt, and does MedSTA deliver them nationwide?
How should thermoforming sheets be stored in Egypt, and does MedSTA deliver them nationwide?
Store sheets flat, away from direct sunlight and temperatures above 30°C, since Egypt's summer heat can pre-soften or warp stacked discs before use. MedSTA delivers thermoforming sheets to labs and clinics across Cairo, Giza, Alexandria, and all Egyptian governorates.
