I want my overbite back - unhappy with results.

Ortho opened my bite without telling me, but now it became obvious to me that I had a slightly deeper bite with more overjet which I actually really liked. Now the bite is more open, the jaw has come forward, lower incisors pushing against upper incisors, lower lip way too much forward.
I was a sceletal class 3 person to begin with, so I don’t see why he took a risk to correct a minor deep bite which camouflaged my class 3 tendency perfectly - now i have the full class 3 bite looking face again.

I think he opened the bite by extruding the lower premolars and molars. Is it possible to reverse this? Like, purposely closing the bite more to create a deep/ overbite ? Just a little bit so my jaw comes back and my face looks normal again like before.
