This case has always been in back of my mind due to its strangeness of hogties and brutality and what Jane Doe might have gone through during possible captivity. I am very thrilled to see latest developments of breaktrough in the case. Thank You Othram!
I am attaching quality photo of her sketch/bust from her DNA Solves page by Othram (all the other photos out there of her sketch are of very low resolution and mini in size) - Who is McDonald County Grace Doe(1990)?

I have also managed to re-read full thread to refresh my memory and while there were many suggestions for comparisons, I am surprised Grace Doe unique dentals were rarely mentioned.
Now few details about her teeth fom news articles:
She had had extensive dental work performed before her death. It consisted of things like braces, straightening and overbite corrections. Tellingly, certain teeth had been surgically removed to allow for the normal growth of other adult teeth, something that typically would have been done when the victim was a teenager or even before, Howard said.
“Somebody cared about her, that’s what is astonishing to me,” Howard said. “Somebody spent thousands of dollars on this girl’s dental work.”
Clay made from her dentals posted previously here
Details above point that while still young all that complex work was done mostly for cosmetic reasons rather than restorative and that she had possibly very caring people around when growing up.
There is also photo online of her lower jaw with teeth - from 16 lower teeth, she had all present except 2 wisdom teeth. She also had extensive fillings, in at least 7 of them.
Link to 2011 article with photo of lower jaw - Cold case update: bones found
I could not find any details about her upper teeth anywhere or if she had any missing when found. None of the comments at the start of the thread when her full dental chart was still publicly available, indicate any upper missing ones though (except possibly upper wisdom teeth) or any further work such as dental plates, bridges, crowns or cups etc.
I think above dental details could help us when considering new submissions for comparisons to Grace Doe.
