I finished my invisalign treatment & had fixed retainers placed on my lower teeth, two months ago. Just the other day, the glue on the wire came off one tooth! the following day, I had an appointment at my orthodontics office and a hygienist replaced the glue...now after a couple of days, I am noticing spaces between these teeth that weren't there before! I am so upset about this...is it because the wire was tweaked when it was re-glued? Will I have to do treatment again to fix these spaces?

The answer to this really does depend on the exact treatment plan and the specific teeth you are referring too. This is hard to say without a picture but to be on the safe side I would recommend having the button replaced before wearing any of the bands.
If you have having any pain with the retainers I would recommend to not wear them until the dentist takes a look. It sounds like it may be impinging on your gums and should be relieved to make it more comfortable. There is also a chance that this may have been like this before and now...
Hi, thanks for sending your pictures and question. There appears to be significant gaps on your aligners. You need to visit with your provider. All the best.
