Can I depend on retainers without having braces again to move teeth?

Q. I had my braces off a few years ago and i wear my retainers everyday. I now notice that one of my tooth is moving forward and im freaking out about it. my ortho tried stripping the canine teeth a bit but i don’t see an improvement. Can i wear the T4K (trainers for kids) to make it go back to its original position? Is there a way for my tooth to go back without having braces again? Can the retainers do something about it?

A. A clear aligner system using a few aligners should move your teeth back into place – get a permanent retainer to hold them in place
