Ideally retainers should not be loose. Because their purpose is to stabilize the treatment done.
You can feel that retainers are loose only if they are not properly made or you are wearing them for many months.
If they are loose you might need replacement.
Still have queries then please consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

For how many months have you been wearing the retainer and do you have a permanent retainer attached behind your front teeth. If not I suggest you get it done soon or risk relapse
Next Steps
visit your dentist for a bonded retainer. Invisalign alone won't be enough
