Small space opened up...will retainer fit?

I had impressions taken for my retainer, but despite my braces still being on...I noticed a small space opened up where I had an extraction. I think my should have powerchained it, but he didn't. It's a very small space, probably half of a millimeter...but I'm afraid the retainer won't fit when I get it. Is this possible?

ETA: I will be getting Hawley retainers, if that makes a difference.

I would bring this up to your ortho so he or she is aware, if your retainer was done before (impressions) the small gape appeared then it should fix the gap. But definetly bring it up to your ortho so they know
