See whenever any of orthodontic treatment gets relapsed it's most probably due to improper retention treatment post orthodontics. You might have to get retention treatment done again and at the end of it you can get the 'fixed retainer' fixed on your teeth.So the chances of relapse are none.

I feel u shd go fr Ortho again rather than invisible ones,as they cn only generate very less force which is not sufficient to move the roots of the teeth.
