You are absolutely right, 6 months braces is a big mistake. Looking at the placement of the bracket on the photo you provided, you should run from the dentist who places brackets like in your case shown. My advise to request removal of those brackets asap and seek help in a professional free...
Thanks for posting photos. You do have extremely short roots. With normal wear and chewing forces you may never have a problem. These teeth are at higher risk if there is trauma to these teeth. Orthodontics can fall into the category of trauma. I would advise against doing additional...
