My MIL was fitted with a custom dental appliance that fit over her upper teeth to protect her teeth from grinding. It was a bit like those mouth guards that football players wear, but a much thinner material, transparent, not sure what it was made of. But it didn't interfere with her being able to speak or drink except it gave her a little lisp.
In her case, though, she was still able to insert and remove it when directed. Might present a problem since your mom isn't compliant. (It no longer fit after she broke the tooth that anchored her partial so didn't use it any longer. But then, she no longer had back teeth to clench any more.)
I'd worry about her aspirating the gum too. But my MIL's roommate at the SNF chewed gum all the time. (Oh, there was hell to pay if she ran out of gum. LOL) I'd imagine that her family signed a waiver for her to have it.
