Praying that this medication will work.

Call Dr Diaz at the Exotic Animal Hospital of Orlando. Ask him to sedate her (Iso) and drastically blunt her incisors. He is an expert in his field and will know how far to go without damaging the enamel and dentin. I am sure you know it's a stop-gap measure but it beats open wounds, sepsis and death. She will still bite at the target area but the trauma will be minimal to none if blunted enough. Don't try it yourself or you can split the tooth laterally to the root and then incisor removal is the only option. This will buy you time to try different medications. Sounds like a nerve issue. I would call Diaz ASAP.
I would try adding magnesium citrate to her diet first, it really does calm the brain activity down. Also Inositol, a vitamin like chemical that the brain needs to relax normally; it has been used to counter Obsessive compulsions like self chewing in pets.
For dosages on these two key support nutrient sources, contact me by PM.

Milk Thistle is a plant with the flavonoid complex silymarin that increases the levels of serotonin in the cortex of mice.
Light Therapy Might Help with OCD
A single case report exists of a woman who developed OCD during the winter season. She also had seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Light therapy was an effective treatment for SAD and doctors prescribed 30 minutes of light therapy for five days. After two weeks, the woman felt a noticeable difference and no longer had symptoms of obsession.Since Glycine is often low in those with OCD. The use of Magnesium Glycinate a very well absorbed source pairs Magnesum and the Glycine in one source.Glycine Is Helpful for Relieving OCD Symptoms
Glycine is an amino acid that reduces glutamate function in the cortical region of the brain [R].
In a 12-week study, 24 OCD patients were given 60 grams of glycine or placebo daily along with their regimen. Ten patients dropped out of the study due to bad taste and nausea with the glycine. Overall, there was a minor decrease in OCD symptoms.

CoralReefer and DiggiesFriend:
I started oral CBD supplement protocol on my grey today. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm working with the company (CannaPet) that puts it out for larger pets.
I'll keep notes on Muggsy's behavior and contact CannaPet again on Friday to discuss side effects, effectiveness at deterring self-mutilation, and adjusting the dose.
Maybe, if successful, this could help someone else out there.
