Wearing My Retainer After 5 Years – Closing Small Gaps?

i should start off by specifying that i dont have money for any orthodontics. my insurance is bare minimum and i simply dont have the money for short term braces or invisalign.
when i wa 15 i got my braces off. i wore my retainer until my doctor told me i didnt need to anymore about a year later.
its been five years now, and i have small spaces in the top of the front of my smile. they really arent bad at all,
my retainer still fits, just with a gap between my teeth and the plastic, but i can get it on. im wondering if i wear it how it would take me to get back to normal.?
i know that its different for everyone and without seeing no one can be sure, but there are relatively small spaces and im simply asking for an educated guess.
im also asking if anyone advises me not to do this seeing as its been about 4 years since i had it in last? theres a decent amount of space between my top and botom teeth. my bottom retainer still fits perfectly with no gaps.
thanks guys!

Ok, just preparing myself for when I have to get the gaps put in, I now know that they put them things between your teeth, but HOW is it done? Just by pure force? Please don’t tell me it’s more needles lol.

I have had braces for almost a year and went to the orthodontist before. He wants to take my braces off on the 1st December but I still have quite a large gap (I can fit my tongue through) in between two teeth! Will he take them off with a large gap, surely he wont?

But my mom refuses to make an appointment yet to the dentist so they can send me to an orthodontist, beacuse she says thats the only way i can go to the orthodontist is to go to the dentist first. Thanks for the help!:)
