well i think that while practicing altissimo you have unintentionally altered your embochure in a good way, which is pretty cool.........in most cases i would say that i cant believe you ALLOWED your embochure to be changed by something like this, but for you i say all the better.

i have no idea if altissimo can help your tone for your whole range at all because i have not practiced it enough to find improvement like that from it.

maybe someone else here can give an explanation if im wrong at all
