Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query , as you have gap in between teeth , plaque and pus formation in gums that is periodontal abscess , gap in between teeth can be due to periodontal problem may be due to weak periodontal ligamnets or there can be bone loss . I will suggest you to consult Orthodontist for examination of tooth periodontal condition if possible yes you can go for Fixed Ortho treatment at your age . Discuss with your dentist and you can go for braces .
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health ,
