Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bleeding in the gums, the recession and bad breath is because of the gum infection secondary to the deposits over the teeth. This can occur secondary to your malaligned teeth, where you cannot brush your teeth and maintain oral hygiene.
If I am your treating doctor, I would advise you to get the teeth cleaned (scaling and root planing) and use topical gum astringents like stolin gum paint.
Regarding your mal aligned teeth, you need to take a radiogrpah like OPG and lateral cephalograph to check the status of the bone and teeth.
If sufficient bone support is there, then you can get the orthodontic treatment done by consulting an orthodontist.
Consult a oral physician and get these things ruled out.
