There is something called camouflage treatment where mini screws are used to convert surgical case to non surgical but again its a decision taken by your Orthodontist and he will best guide you.

With your history I presume it's upper skeletal mal occlusion with dental compnent.dental portion is corrected,but skeletal compnent needs surgical correction.

Though its not my specialty,but as far from your narration of the situation its best to take another opinion.Sometimes surgical orthodontic intervention is required or else things might relapse & duration for complete correction will be more.
