Are you sure that she has NO teeth? The teeth are small and hard to see at times.(small, triangular and serrated)Iguanas do not have permanent teeth as mammals do, but rather have teeth somewhat loosely attached to the inner side of the jawbone.

(Animals with this type of tooth arrangement are called pleurodonts)

These are frequently lost, and are replaced as needed, much as a shark's are. It would be highly unusual for her to have no teeth, or no teeth growing in. Maybe age or disease (mbd) are a factor here.
