Have you got the upper teeth extracted long back ? When that happens, the lower teeth occupies the space of upper also (technical term is supra erruption) and touches upper gums.
Next Steps
Meet your dentist. If what I've said is true a Root canal treatment and cap (crown) can correct this anomaly

You have mentioned that you have got your braces treatment done thrice. Was the treatment completed or left midway? When done by an experienced orthodontist ( braces specialist) results are excellent. Any other form of treatment such as root canals or caps to change the alignment of your teeth would be very invasive.
Next Steps
Try to get an opinion from an orthodontist as to what went wrong in your previous treatment.
