Hello, I am a 26-year old female who had (I believe) two rounds of braces growing up. The first round was to correct my underbite. And the second round was to fix generally unaesthetic crookedness in my teeth. I’ve noticed over the past few months that my teeth have been getting more and more crooked over time. Unfortunately, I’ve stopped wearing my retainer since they started hurting me a lot in my sleep like 13 yrs ago. I never really wore my retainer, but my teeth also did not seem to be bad.

Jaw surgeries related with orthodontic treatment is often planned by an orthodontist and performed by oral surgeon under the supervision of the orthodontist. Wearing braces are normally included in whole treatment planning. In general braces are applied prior to the surgery to get the tooth...
Sucking thumb may lead serious orthodontic problems. Many can be treated well and nicely. Since I cannot see your pictures it is not possible to evaluate your case. However I strongly recommend you see an orthodontist ASAP!
Your upper tooth is in crossbite [tooth is behind], so best option is orthodontic/braces/aligner treatment to align teeth.
You can go for porcelain veneers but one tooth is in crossbite, so veneers is not recommended in your case.
for red gums visit the dentist for scaling/cleaning of teeth.
