Will the daily wearing and removing of my retainers (essix retainers) dislodge my dental bridge (dental bridge is 4 unit on upper front incisors consisting of two middle pontic and abutment on each end)? Also will it reduce the life of the bridge?

No definitely it won’t affect the longevity of the bridge.... Use of retainers post orthodontic treatment is mandatory to prevent relapse.
