As you already know tartar will be removed only by scaling and followed by correct brushing strokes at every surfaces of teeth.
As far as the increasing gaps,it needs to be thoroughly (through your detailed ortho case history) checked before giving any advice.

Get your cleaning done and get the braces on for a few months more to correct it and then go for Permanent retainers so that the gaps remain closed.
