Do not fix anything at home - that can spoil the entire retainer may be due to incorrect fixing joint. Need to visit your orthodontist and get it fixed . If the retainer has cracked due to your negligence then be responsible for it. Do visit orthodontist and get things solved to prevent relapse of the treatment .
