Usually it should not happen if proper treatment is done and proper retainer is given with good patient compliance. Some cases need permanent fixed retainers too. In such cases if retainer is discontinued then the gaps may open up again. Some gaps may come if the oral hygiene is not maintained properly. So discuss with your dentist everything and follow all the instructions.
