stopage of habit will help you for lifetime as desease won't progress,
and getting treatment for reopening will help you maintain your oral health, so accept both.

Its appreciable that you have quit your habit. Also there is significant increase in your mouth opening. I would suggest you to kindly follow your maxillofacial surgeon and continue with your treatment. Hope it helps

In this case, please follow up with the oral surgeon as they specialize in the mouth area. An ENT is a specialist for the ear, nose and throat. The changes to your ora mucosa will take more time to get back to complete normalcy. The key here is to never start the habit again. As you have mentioned the progress, there's nothing to worry about. But regular follow ups with your dentist are a must.
Dont worry, you're doing well.
