Still have gap after keeping retainers

Question

Asked for Female, 24 Years

Hello, It's been 6 months that I'm using Essix retainer but I still have gaps in between my lower set of tooth. I have been advised to put Hawleys Retainer by my orthodontist. I just wanted to know if I can use new set of Essix Retainer to cover the gap? Also wanted to know whether the gaps would be covered completely if I go for Hawleys Retainers, and its approximate cost? Regards, Vandana
