Why Doesn't my Vacuum-Formed Retainer Cover my Molars?

theempire385
This is a follow up to another question that I asked a couple of days ago. I have noticed that only my back molar teeth are touching and none of the other teeth in my mouth actually meet. This has occurred after about one year of wearing what I believe is a vacuum formed retainer that does not cover my back molars. I completed the Invisalign treatment about a year ago and my teeth looked perfect after. I am wondering why my orthodontist would give me a retainer that didn't cover all my teeth?
