There are many reasons for that. Maybe you have periodontal disease. You need to go and check with your dentist soon.
You may have periodontal disease/bone loss, which causes teeth to drift. You may be a grinder or clencher and this can also cause shifting. Seeing your dentist is recommended.
Moving teeth (when not doing Orthodontics) is usually seen in patients who are clenching and grinding teeth excessively but can also be related to a more advanced condition of Periodontal disease. In either case a prompt evaluation by your Dr. is required.
There can be several reasons for teeth separating. 1. You may have periodontal disease. This may result in lessening amounts of bone holding your teeth in place. 2.Your bite may be changing resulting in increased stress on some of your teeth and causing them to shift. Either way, it's time to see your dentist to evaluate why your teeth are shifting and to solve the problem.
