Always it is best to place lingual fixed retainer rather than removable. Because even though am not an orthodontist am telling this with my own experience as i have undergone orthodontic treatment. I kept removable retainer in upper arch and fixed in lower. I removed my braces 3 years back after 8 months my upper retainer broke upper arch got relapsed and lower arch still am having lingual fixed retainer. It has not relapsed at all.
So always best to go for permanent retainers
Next Steps
Go and visit a nearby orthodontist
Health Tips

Hello Madam ! Would Suggest to Visit an Orthodontist who will tighten if it is a retainer with wire with which also minor movements can be accomplished..If it is Retainer with wire it can be adjusted and can be refitted..So do Visit an Orthodontist for the Same..Regards Dr.Amit Majethia MDS Orthodontist
