Hello there,I would recommend making an appointment with your dentist to have a new retainer made. Your teeth may shift if your continue wearing your retainer as is long term. The cost of a new retainer now is much less than what you'll end up paying to have your teeth realigned if they shift. Good luck and I hope this helps.
