I am the same poster behind the "is it bad to move correctly too fast" post, and I'm wondering: is it possible to regress after pushing bones a little bit closer into their correct position if correct oral posture isn't held? Looks like my smile is a little more gummy now, like as if my upper teeth had moved down somehow, and I'm not sure but my face might be longer. I think it looks worse than before I started in some regards.
FYI though hard to believe these changes have all occurred in the past week. I really think I might have Marfan syndrome after looking into it.
EDIT: My face may have regressed but from looking in the mirror again and feeling my face I'm pretty sure my recent mandible upswing has stayed the same. Feels very nice and chewing feels...I don't know, a lot better, like more satisfying and effective.
I am uneducated on how Marfan's syndrome effects bone growth and movement.
The sutures of the skull are like interlocking velcro that gave some give: When you pull them apart and keep them there, new bone starts to be deposited in the spaces. If the pressure keeping them apart goes away, the bones will move back into their previous position - but you will not lose the bone deposited while they were seperated. It also takes time for them to separate and come back together, hours even.
So it is indeed possible to regress back to a previous bone position, but this will not undo the bone growth which occurs. Since this bone growth is happening on such a tiny scale, progress and regression should not be visually noticeable on a day to day basis.
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. It is easy to become a bit of a hypochondriac when we learn new information about our health. I'm not telling you that you are wrong, but just that I am skeptical that you can discern these kinds of changes on a day-to-day basis. When we look in the mirror, certain lighting, angles, or expressions can influence what we think we see. Have you tried taking pictures under consistent conditions and then comparing for changes? Marfan and other connective tissue disorders are rare, especially in the general population without a family history. Maybe I shouldn't have opined on your question about connective tissue disorders in the other thread, but while I think it's interesting to wonder if they can predispose to earlier onset of craniofacial dystrophy, I don't think we have any reason to believe the cranial form of those with these conditions is as malleable as what you are describing.

You're probably right. I have done exactly that in the past with other things.
