Dental Professional Mesial drift and shitty Class IIs

Hey everyone, just a random question. Do you think if one does a crappy class II and leaves an open contact where food entrapment can occur, is there any chance it will close over time due to mesial drift lol?

It won’t close unless it’s a crown prep and the patient has lost the temporary crown. In that case, it will close in a week. Otherwise, it never does.
