The goal is to end treatment with front teeth in " incisal guidance and back teeth interdigitating properly. (fitting together) .Sometimes tooth extractions are necessary.

Depends...: On your age, the magnitude of the class ii, and what other problems you might have. A quick evaluation by an orthodontist will get you a better answer.

Many: Depends on what's wrong. Is problem dental, skeletal, or combination of both? Is rx for growing child or non-growing adult? In addition to sagittal (class ii) problem are there vertical or transverse problems? More important than the choice of gadgets is the choice of practitioner. Seek an orthodontic specialist, have examination, and then discuss treatment options.
