no you don't because just getting a retainer will put your teeth back because you've already had braces.

Do you have to have braces or can you just have a retainer?
Braces are designed to move your teeth into better alignment. A retainer is designed to keep your teeth in their current position following braces. If your teeth are where you want them to be, you do not need braces or a retainer. If they are not, you will need to have them moved with braces followed by a retainer to hold them in place.
Why do people need a retainer after braces?
To keep the teeth together. Sure your braces will make your teeth straight but they can open up a gap again ( if that is the reason you needed braces). So a retanier will only keep the teeth straight

What can you do if your teeth have moved years after having braces?
You have to get braces again. Yeah, bummer. Same thing happened to me. I thought once you had braces that was it. Forever. Not so. Many people find that their teeth begin to move 20, 30 + years after having their braces off. I'm 37 and had my braces off when I was around 12 or so. My teeth started moving a lot about two years ago. My dentist told me that lots of people need (what she called) "a second round of ortho." Ideally its best to have your teeth corrected before they get TOO much out of whack again. I just don't have the dental insurance for that. Braces nowadays come in clear and even removable form so you won't look like you did when you first had braces. Do a Google search on "adult braces" and you'll find plenty of articles! ~ T
Can you have braces?
Yes, you can have braces but it is best to get them only if you really need them. edition: My braces were three thousand dollars. Only get them if you need them (again) because they are very expensive. They don't hurt to much, but they aren't awesome feeling. My teeth were really bad but, now they are pretty good. One of my teeth was back on the roof of my mouth for about 2 years. But, always where your retainer after your braces!
