I don’t plan on replacing my upper second molar after getting my braces off due to bone loss and needing sinus graft and the cost of it.I would probably hold off of on it for maybe1-2 years till I can save for it.Would the retainer hold my teeth till then.?
 
A 2nd molar? Which teeth are you needing held? As a general rule, teeth don't drift backwards. They tend to move towards the light :)

Sure. You might well find you don't notice it being missing at all.
