Probably not. You may be overthinking your occlusion. Do not overthink a non issue.

Those little gaps may be due to your teeth wearing unevenly when they were crooked, or to the aarvchitecture of the teeth themselves, or due to failure to wear hour retainers a full 24 hours per day, Discuss your concerns with your Orthodontist.
