How common is relapse after Bimax/CCW? Any studies?

[Soalian]

I haven't found much info about the accepted rates of relapse in Bimax/CCW out there, do you have info on this?

Or any links to relevant studies?

Thanks

realsurgerymax posted stats on this once I think pretty much everyone relapses 1-2mm and then it exponentially gets way more unlikely the more mm we're talking about

aka nothing to worry about really

the bigger the movement the bigger is the relapse

For Bimax. it makes sense.

For CCW, maybe the relapse rates would be higher, for example in cases where force from facial muscles (masseters,...) would bring maxilla/mandible down/backwards again?

Any good surgeon knows about this and slightly overcorrects therefor
