I just got my braces off and my front teeth seem to slant out. Is this normal? Am I overreacting? Can this be fixed with my retainer or maybe invisaign (don't want to go back to braces)?

By the way, I'm getting an implant done soon for the obvious tooth thats missing so I want to correct this (if it needs to be) before I do that.
