Upper jaw surgery relapse?

[alayah]

Okay so now i'm 11 months post op double jaw surgery. My upper jaw has been impacted and my lower jaw has been brought forward. I'm still in braces.
I realise relapse on my both jaws and it becomes more visible day by day.
A few months ago i realized that my upper teeth are moving up and down. I feel pain in my upper arch time to time. I realized lately, that my gummy smile has returned. It's crazy. I remember when i was 2-3 months post op my gums were not even visible. I looked at my x-rays from different time periods, and i can see that my upper jaw is slightly longer now. Is that even possible?
I read some posts about relapse after BSSO. My lower jaw is also dealing with a relapse now. As far as i can see it's happening a lot. But i never see a relapse after upper jaw surgery. So i wonder if you guys know about it. Do you think upper jaw can grow after surgery?

Do you think it's possible that the reduction of swelling in your upper lip is what has changed your smile?

it may be due to reduction of swelling as you say but i don't think swelling would create that much of a change in between 6 months post op and 8 months post op. but i don't know maybe it's just me...
thanks for your answer.

I had the same surgery 4 months ago and 3 weeks ago I noticed my upper jaw is moving up and down. My surgeon says he thinks it might be because I clench my teeth and my bone has softened. So he put me back on a soft/liquid diet. I have been looking for anything similar to key and this is the first i havecome across. I know its been a while but was hoping you got an answer and how you fixed it. If mine doesn't heal I've been told a bone graph is in my future.
