GP dentists have more education than merely 5 days of orthodontics within dental school

A knowledgeable GP will understand their limitations of treatment and can refer the more complex cases (however that knowledge is unbeknownst to the general public).
I will agree, though, that treatment by a specialist in any facet will be by someone with more knowledge. Treating orthodontic relapse is not always 'simple', though, and may again be better in the hands of the specialist again.
Lifelong retention is always the battle in keeping the teeth in the newfound position. Wear your retainers, or, put up with the bonded retainers.
