Oh my goodness this sounds awful.
I assume you are taking her to see a vet as soon as you can about this.

it sounds to me like she may have been in a terrible fights and she may have pulled teeth out during the fight. Of course the other possibility is that she has fallen or been hit by something in the face and she may have smashed teeth and possibly her jaw.

Poor cat I do hope you can get her to see a vet as soon as possible she must be in some discomfort. I hope she is Ok.

best wishes kate
