Protruding upper teeth

Question

Asked for Male, 20 Years

I had my braces for about 2 years. After removal of my braces, I was told to put on retainers so as to maintain the position of my teeth. But I only wore my retainers at night due to which my upper teeth started protruding out. My Orthodentist says this cannot be reverted without further extraction as there is no gap in the arc of my teeth. But, since my lower lip is bigger than the upper lip extraction and shifting of teeth backwards would lead to my upper lip moving back as well which would not be favourable. I just want very little movement of my front teeth to be shifted back. Please Help!
