A system for customizing a dental device (10, 11) includes an arch (12, 14) operable to receive one or more of a user's teeth (16) and a deformable material (20, 32) that includes an aliphatic polyester. A delivery device (40) contains the deformable material (20, 32) and delivers at least some of the deformable material (20, 32) to a selected region of the arch (12, 14) to customize the dental device (10, 11) for the user. The aliphatic polyester may be a polycaprolactone polymer having the formula: ##STR1## where R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon.
