Only if you put someone else's false teeth in your mouth by mistake !

...is it common for jaws not to work completely

Yes, it is common for various formic acid treatments to not be very effective.

Your colonies could have been re-infested through robbing. Re-infestation was a big problem in my part of the country last year. Did you treat all the colonies at the same time? I lost one colony for sure to varroa last year due to varroa compromised winter bees. Also, I treated earlier than usual for me last year and I think that was a mistake. You must sublimate. Good luck.
