A night guard (or bite guard) is a custom-fitted appliance worn while you sleep to protect your teeth and jaw from grinding and clenching. A day guard is worn during waking hours if you clench under stress or during sports.
Unlike drugstore guards, a custom guard from Dr. Timin is precisely molded to your bite and teeth. It distributes force evenly, protects your enamel, and can help reduce jaw pain and morning headaches caused by grinding.

A detailed bite impression is taken. Your custom guard is fabricated in the lab to fit your teeth and jaw precisely.
Your guard is delivered and adjusted for comfort and proper bite position. Regular checkups ensure it stays protective and comfortable over time.
You may need a night or day guard if you’ve noticed worn, chipped, or flattened teeth, frequent jaw pain or tension, or morning headaches. Other signs include tooth sensitivity, fractured dental work, neck or shoulder tightness, or reports of grinding noises while you sleep. These symptoms often indicate clenching or bruxism, which can be effectively managed with a custom guard.

You're a good candidate if you wake with jaw pain, notice worn or flattened teeth, hear grinding sounds at night, or experience tension headaches in the morning. You're also a candidate if you clench under stress or play contact sports and want to protect your teeth.
If you have sleep apnea or severe jaw joint problems, a guard alone may not be enough. Dr. Timin will assess your specific situation and recommend the right approach.
Dr. Darya Timin is a Kois Center graduate with training in occlusion (bite) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) mechanics. A guard is only as good as the bite it protects, and she designs each one to maintain proper jaw position and force distribution.
She takes a detailed bite impression and designs your guard to protect all the surfaces that need it while staying comfortable enough to wear every night. The fit is adjusted until your jaw sits in its most relaxed position.
The result is a guard that patients actually wear, night after night, because it feels like it belongs in their mouth.

With proper care, custom guards can last several years. Their lifespan depends on how frequently they are worn and the severity of grinding or clenching.
Custom guards are designed specifically for your bite, providing better comfort, durability, and protection compared to over-the-counter guards, which may not fit properly.
Yes. Custom dental guards help reduce muscle tension, relieve pressure on the TMJ, and protect teeth from excessive forces, often leading to significant symptom relief.
Signs you may need a guard include worn or chipped teeth, jaw pain, morning headaches, tooth sensitivity, fractured dental work, or reports of grinding sounds during sleep.
Night guards are designed for sleep and protect against nighttime grinding and clenching, while day guards are thinner and worn during the day to manage stress-related clenching without interfering with speech or daily activities.
