Get your scaling done and modify your brushing technique. As it is one of the most common cause of gum recession ( gum line coming down) in patients not having periodontal disease.

Please get scaling done, also the dentist will review your bite if it is deep or traumatic then too this can happen.. accordingly he/she will advise you the right treatment. also I feel the tissue below your gums could be a reason so he/she might suggest removal of that fold.
by doing this your problem can be solved
