You might need a crown lengthening procedure done. It'd done all the time for people before they get braces to expose the tooth surface so the brackets can be placed

I think 5 years with braces on is not normal. I think your dentist is not giving you a good advise! better change your dentist. It's impossible to push back the gums with a toothbrush (that's really weird!) unless you'll wait for it to settle or have it removed!
There is nothing you can do about it.
Your dentist needs to either cauterize it so that the gums regress down or will have to remove it surgically which is avery very minor procedure.
