Hope you are doing good Based on your discription, it suggests  the receeding of gums. There are many reasons for that like hard brushing, muscle pull, poor oral hygiene... Consult periodontist and get the proper guidance.

You are facing an issue called as Recession of gums. At the age of 20 it should not happen. I suggest you to go to a periodontist- a gum specialist for the treatment as soon as possible.
