You need to do scaling at least once in every 6months it's gingival overgrowth and simple scaling will do and if over growth still persist then go for lasers

With braces it is important to maintain your oral hygiene. Get scaling and polishing ( cleaning of teeth) done and use stolin/ zingisol to massage your gums for a few days

From the pictures you posted, looks like your teeth need cleaning and subgingival Curettage.
If these procedures are not still solving the issue, then LASERS can be used for the pain less removal of the gingival overgrowth.
Usually cleaning & polishing of teeth and restoration of cavities is done before cleaning.
