hi After removal of braces retainers must be worn regularly.Failure to do so will result in gaps recurring.Please visit your orthodontist to evaluate the amount of gaps present and suggest a retention protocol accordingly.

Minor gaps after braces can be treated by getting your retainers tightened and wearing them regularly. Please visit an orthodontist for the same.
