Should a bonded retainer be glued to all 6 bottom teeth?

shb880
I just got a bonded retainer put on my bottom teeth, and they only glued to 3 teeth: the 2 on the end and one that I am having a problem with movement. Is this normal? It seems like the standard is to glue all 6. I am just paranoid about potential movement.
