Hi mam removable retainers can close a mild gap of 1-2mm. Please wear your retainers properly for better results. You will have to wear it full time for one year except while eating and brushing.

Yes. Once braces are removed, Retainers have to be used for some duration (as per your doctor).
Better Visit you doctor and get your doubts cleared.
Retainers do help in maintaining the teeth in correct position.
