Nothing serious: Probably teething as you mentioned and just chewing the nipple.

How often: Is the twitching? If it had been recurring too often, you need to bring your baby to a pediatrician. Considering she is also teething, you maybe right. She maybe experiencing some discomfort every time she puts pressure on her tender gums.
