Retainers maintain space only. Teeth are not only for cosmetic, it serves alot of function -chewing, speaking and many more.
You are just 23 yr old so obviously u need a fixed teeth. You have two options for fixed teeth 1- Implant and 2- FPD (BRIDGE )
Next Steps
Meet your dentist, discuss the options, about cost and pros and cons of both, then decide.

Retainers do not cause tooth movements. They can only maintain the gap. If your gap is big you may have to go in for an implant or a fixed bridge. Anything in the mouth has to be functional besides for cosmetic reasons else it will not work
