A first one of the layers is configured to support a row of model teeth and the first layer, including the row of model teeth, can be 5 divided into multiple sections. The row of model teeth can be reconstructed by connecting the divided sections to the second base layer. The base layers have releasably engageable connection elements that are integrally formed with, or permanently fixed to, the connection surfaces. An articulation mechanism comprising at least two flexible members connected between first and second bases is also 10 disclosed.1/5 20b 19b 19b 20b 11 0 15 0 13 0 o 18 14 18 181 182 Fig. la Fig. lb 20a 19a 34 33 34 19a 20a 1 9 O 1117 17 0 0 17 O171 172 10Fig.. 13 14 11 15 17 12 F D 116
