Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The function of the braces is to move the teeth and align them in a proper way. The function of retainers is to maintain the moved teeth in position. If the braces are in a fixed and inactive state, that can act like a retainer. But it is better to wear retainers after removing the braces, if not the teeth will move back to its previous position.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
