Teeth again!

Teddy had dental surgery about 3 weeks ago now. I've drastically changed their diet, tried different types of hay and really cut back on the veg since then. I checked his teeth this morning, and noticed one side of his top teeth looks a millimetre longer than the other. It's the opposite side to where he had the problem before. Is it possible for them to get dental problems again so soon? I know their teeth grow quickly but he has no history of dental issues until a few weeks ago so I'm shocked (and worried) if it's come back so quickly. I'm going to monitor for the next few days and then take him to the vet if I'm not happy with him. Could he really have more problems again already?
 
I know some bunnies need very frequent dentals say 6 weekly but I’ve not heard of anybun needing it after 3. Hopefully someone else can advise.
 
Thanks, I really hope that I'm being paranoid. I could even cope with it being an error by the vet not ensuring they're even! I booked him an appointment on Monday evening just to be on the safe side.
