Hi, There could have been a slight relapse after you stopped using the retainers which is not uncommon Do not worry you can go to any orthodontist explain treatment you had undergone The dentist may give you another set of retainers Or do bonding to hold the teeth together I hope this was helpful to you Regards, Dr. Prachi Lalji
