Hello,
After orthodontic treatment minimum 6 months you have to wear retainer if your old space is closed then you can get a permanent lingual retainer ( placed in inner side of teeth) . It will be comfortable and maintaining will be easy.

You don't need veneers. Get permanent retainers or essix retainers. For swollen gums get scaling done once.
