Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have Retainers for, many years now you are mobility in your teeth , You should go to orthodontist and get proper treatment course done otherwise your teeth wil again come in there previous Alingment,
Treatment plan for orthodontic treatment is long procedure so it will take time , so better option is that you go to Orthodontist and get proper schedule for it,
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health.
