How Can Front Teeth That Have Shifted In Absence Of Retainer Be Fixed?

I had braces 6-7 years ago, and I lost my retainers 3 months ago. Really, only one of my front teeth has shifted to a slightly noticeable position. How should I go about fixing it? Is it worth the cost? Or should I just get replacement retainers and not complain?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

I would suggest you to consult to the concerned Orthodontist get the detailed examination done.
Replace the retainer if required depending upon the current position of the tooth.

Take care!
