If you have to you can. For example, if you are on vacation or something and you cannot go to the dentist. However, I recommend that you go to the dentist as soon as possible. It may be about $100-$300 depending on what retainer you have, but it is worth it. You do not want to ruin your teeth.

You have forgotten to wear your retainer probably four or five times since you got your braces off in the last month so will you need braces again or can you fix this mistake?
It depends on how much your teeth have shifted. If you can get your retainer back in your mouth, you probably don't need to go back into braces. Mind you, the retainer will be quite uncomfortable for a few days as the teeth move. Remember, you must wear your retainer daily for several years, or your teeth will shift. If you are simply not self-disciplined enough to wear a removable retainer, ask your orthodontist for a fixed retainer. This will be some sort of metal bar or wire that is cemented in place.
