Normaly what a technician try to do is to transform it to a class 1 but depend of what the patient requires and needs, for example; close a little of overjet or overbite because a classe 2 always have this. The rest is the same steps of a normal denture. Please correct me if om wrong :)
We would have to set the anterior teeth in a certain manner in order for the patient to still incise but maintain a minimal overbite and overjet. Remember that the mandible for a Class II jaw relation is a lot smaller than the maxilla, so you would set less teeth. When soing a set up there are 2 factors that must be maintained; aesthetics and function. So try and point out the aims for a Class II now
the aim for the dental technician would probably be to obtain as much function and aesthetics for the patient. with the maxilla being more protruded , the use and placement of the maxillary teeth need to be in correspondence and in harmony with the opposing teeth. the maxillary teeth should not be set in a way where the patient end up looking like a "baboon" therefore the amount of teeth used in the maxillary arch would be key in this case and as well would play a vital role in the placing and adjusting of the teeth for achieving the best aesthetics that would be suitable and pleasing for the patient.
