Modified Essix retainer - problem

I was debraced almost two weeks ago and was given Essix retainers. Today at my polishing appointment, the ortho used pliers to make a bump in the retainer to move one of my teeth (UR4). However, this has changed the way the retainer fits and it now feels loose on my back teeth behind the one he's adjusting. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or do I need to go back the the ortho's office and get this figured out?

Thanks!

if your retainer now feels loose then you should be going back to the ortho to get it looked at.
