Several possibilitie: Could be due to mouth breathing, hereditary short teeth or overbite, due to a drug such as dilantin, due to hormones and possibly your gums were not healthy before and they are now fibrotic - scarred tissue. If situation is really bad you can have your gums trimmed - best to know the cause first before treating.
