Although the gap is minor but if you want that to be treated then first go for treatment again to close the gap and then wear retainer...may be you need fixed permanent retainer

It is better to close the gap with orthodontic treatment and then wear the retainer. Only just by wearing the retainer wont close the gap

Hello!
The space is very minor, you can ignore that, if the space increases,You can go for composite filling (or appliances if possible after examination)
