Question about elastics for braces

Can a bite relapse if i didn’t wear my elastics consistently? I still have my braces on and i have a 1 mm overbite now, before it was close to 1 cm. Could it relapse if i don’t wear them anymore?

Do your jaw/teeth shift back to original position after not wearing your elastics for a while?

Im using class 2 elastics rn, after you stop wearing them for a bit does your jaw go back or stay the same?
