Does orthodontics cause jaw shape changes?

I am probably mis-labeling exactly what jaw/mouth parts I am referring to here but I will try my best to describe what I am talking about.

I have had Invisalign since March 2019. I have worn approximately 68 aligners (sometimes for 7 days at a time sometimes for 14 days at a time). I also have a band to correct my bite... After looking at pictures of myself before treatment and after treatment I swear my jaw on one side of my mouth is bulging out less than before. Is this just me or is there legit a possibility the Invisalign treatment caused this? I am not mad or happy about this change, just want to know if orthodontics caused this change.
