I am a 19 years old male. I had braces on my teeth a few years back. My braces were removed in 2015. After that immediately the dentist gave me a retainer to wear. I used it for 1 year till 2016 ended. But then I stopped using it. Today in 2018 after 2 years I feel my upper teeth have shifted in front, so I got new retainers having current shape of teeth. So will my teeth stop moving in front of I were new retainers or I have to put on braces again?

If the gaps are not too much (your choice) you can get fixed retainers for 6 moths or more. If you feel gaps are more you need to put braces again and this time with proper knowledge of how to prevent collapse of the treatment.
