Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have undergone Fix Orthodontic treatment for years and now you want to use old removable appliance , No please dont wear that as your tooth will be moved from that position to new position after one year fix treatment .

So better you first consult your dentist again and then if he advised you to use then you can use it.

Hope this will help you.

Wishing you good health.
