Though it is hard to say for sure, It appears by the photos that you may have some cavities (caries lesions). I definitely think there is a chance that the teeth can be fixed, but you need a comprehensive evaluation (exam and xrays) by your dentist and treatment plan as soon...
I would recommend an in-person exam after the braces are removed for evaluation and treatment options (veneers, oral appliance to protect your teeth...).
Anytime a tooth is touched with a drill you run the risk of irritating the nerve. Typically, that irritation is reversible. Sometimes it is irreversible and a root canal is necessary. Consult with an endodontist and have some nerve testing done to see what's going on.
