teeth pain

My girlfriend has lately been experiencing some serious, vibrating pain in her teeth when she plays the clarinet. She's tried a few things, but it's gotten to the point where it depresses her so much that she doesn't have the emotional energy to deal with the situation anymore. I'm trying to do what I can to help her.

Does anyone know of any possible solutions to this that won't require her to alter her embouchure? I asked her about a mouthpiece cushion but she said that only helps the top teeth, and it's her bottom teeth that are the big problem. Is there a cushion available for the bottom of the mouthpiece? Are there alternative mouthpieces that might be gentler on her teeth?

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately I don't know too much about the subject, but thank you very much for any suggestions!
