Consult your orthodontist and get the retainers placed. For tartar deposits you need to get your teeth cleaned- scaling.

First go for professional cleaning to remove debris calculus and stain, wearing retainers for 6 months full time and 2 years 12 to 14 hours is must to avoid relapse you might have contacted your dentist immediately after breaking your retainer, now we don't have option other than going for braces treatment now we have lot of advanced braces which you can correct your gap in front teeth
