Yes, but the retainer should be made so wearing it does not influence the implant/tooth - relieve the inside of the clear retainer.

Yes, you can absolutely wear your retainer as long as it was made after the restoration of the implant and the fit is good.

Yes you can wear a retainer as long as it doesn’t actively put forces on the teeth to move them. Implants will not move only loosen.
