Hi, I've Had A Retainer For About 5 Years And

Hi, I've had a retainer for about 5 years and it recently broke. I've been managing but it doesn't do as good of a job as when it was fixed. I mainly wear it so my gap doesn't open again. I don't know if I should get a new retainer or just stop wearing one. I've worn it for so long but I've noticed that when I don't wear it for a few days my gap starts to open again. Is there another way to get rid of this problem without having to wear a retainer or what should I do? Thank you. /:
