Malpositioned teeth trap food and bacteria more so than teeth that are properly aligned. Orthodontic care together with proper brushing, flossing, and professional hygiene visits should resolve your problem.

Crowded teeth are harder to clean. And it's unremoved bacteria that cause bone/gum loss. and with bone/gum loss comes tooth mobility and eventually tooth loss. Advisse that you see BOTH a specialist Periodontist and a specialist Orthodontist for evaluation. "Pressure from crowding" does not cause bone loss.
