Been wearing my retainer but now it doesn’t fit

So I’ve been wearing my retainer since I got apart from one night when I was extremely ill. Anyway I’ve now notice all of it first perfectly apart the left side back. It keeps popping out of place and with the covid lockdown I don’t know what to do ?? Any suggested on what to do and why this has happened?

The longer you don’t wear it the more your teeth will move and the retainer will start to not fit as well. Try and keep it on until it feels comfortable again and stops popping out.
