Hiii.. Good evening.. If you have retainer in good condition.. Use it.. Or go to dentist for new retainer..
The gap will close if you use retainer.. It may be a slow process.. But will close.. No need to worry..
Thank you..

After orthodontic treatment, chances of relapses are more. So retainers should wear to reduce the chances of relapse. Visit clinic again, if gap is small it can be filled, but if gap is more then you need treatment. Attach photographs of effected area for better guidance and treatment options.
You can consult online also.
