Brief Answer:
Thin gums.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
I have viewed the images and it is due to thin gums. Nothing is needed to be done.
Just massage the gums gently with finger tips as it will help in improving blood flow and improve your gums. Also, chew a vitamin C pellet daily. You should get your teeth cleaned by a Dentist and also consult an Orthodontist and get braces done to align the teeth.
