My bottom 2 teeth starting to slightly shift out of place. can't afford invisalign or braces. can a"permanent retainer or anything else help fix it?

Minor Tooth Shifting: Good day; Consult with a dental practitioner comfortable in achieving minor tooth movement and stabilization. I would believe an orthodontic department of a nearby dental school would be a wise approach to locating an experienced dentist or the dental department of a convenient community hospital would suffice.

Retainers: Retainers retain, they hold teeth where they are, not straighten them. There are removable appliances, however, that are relatively inexpensive that can be used to accomplish limited tooth movement, but only if there is enough room to move the teeth back into alignment. See the best tooth mover, an Orthodontist (1st appt usually free) for no-obligation discussion of treatment options.

Bottom two front teeth starting to shift & are a bit noticeable. I cant afford Invisalign or braces. As an adult anything else I can do to fix it?
Two top front teeth were moved down on invisalign, but while waiting for retainers, have moved back up in days after the attachment on one tooth was removed (even though I'm still strictly wearing the last tray). Why would this occur/what should I do?
If i get gum surgery for spaces on my bottom teeth, would i need to redo invisalign? im currently on retainers and thinking of redoing invisalign
Was wondering if i only wear my top retainers (invisalign), will it affect my bottom teeth?
Two orthodontists both recommended IPR to create a bit of space for a front tooth during Invisalign treatment. My back teeth are already straight (from prior braces treatment). I still have my wisdom teeth. Would it be worth taking the risks of IPR?
