My teeth have moved

It's been about 6 weeks since I've had my braces off and in that time my teeth have moved.
It's pretty disheartening. I've been wearing the retainer for around 16=18 hrs a day.
If I wear it more consistently will it fix my teeth, can they be repositioned just by wearing the retainer?

I would expect that your teeth will move back where they belong with 24/7 wear of your retainer. Didn't your orthodontist suggset 24 hours a day for at least six months? Your teeth haven't settled yet..takes a long time and they will move anytime your retainer is off!
