1. An orthodontic article comprising the reaction product of a polymerizable composition comprising:
30-65 parts by weight of monofunctional (meth)acrylate monomer(s) per 100 parts of the total polymerizable composition, wherein a cured homopolymer of at least one monofunctional (meth)acrylate monomer has a Tg of 30 degrees Celsius (° C.) or greater, at least 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90° C.; and
at least one urethane (meth)acrylate comprising polymerized units of an aliphatic polycarbonate diol, wherein the at least one urethane (meth)acrylate comprises a reaction product of at least one of the following:
i) an aliphatic polycarbonate diol, a diisocyanate, a diol (meth)acrylate, and a hydroxy functional (meth)acrylate;
ii) an aliphatic polycarbonate diol and an isocyanate functional (meth)acrylate;
iii) an aliphatic polycarbonate diol, a diisocyanate, and an isocyanate functional (meth)acrylate; or
iv) an aliphatic polycarbonate diol, a diisocyanate, a diol (meth)acrylate, and an isocyanate functional (meth)acrylate.
