Retainer and Thumbpulling

Many years ago I had braces, but they orthodontist gave me a permanent retainer that looks like this. Will this affect thumbpulling in a bad way? As in, will it withhold the splitting/loosening of the maxillary sutures or is it not that significant?

yes it also leaches heavy metals into your gut and overall body, get it removed

Removing the retainer will have the best ROI. It is limiting maxillary expansion by holding the suture.
