Relapse: If you've had orthodontic treatment and did not wear your retainers as directed, you teeth may have started to shift back to their former position, causing the symptoms that you describe. You will further ortho treatment to correct the relapse. Talk to a local orthodontist regarding your options.

Evaluation in order: As we don't know where you started prior to orthodontic treatment, where you ended up, the quality of the care along with your cooperation, even during your treatment, it's impossible to know what's best for you at this point. You should consult with a well seasoned restorative dentist, who together with an orthodontist can discuss your options and how best to resolve your issues at this point.
