Do You Need Surgery to Fix a Stage 2 Overbite/jet?

sreid
I had braces on for 3 years. My orthodontist said I was stage 1 and I wore a bite plate and rubber bands. When he removed them I complained about my overjet and he said the retainer will pull it back. Since then I decided to get a second opinion . I was told that I had a stage 2. I went back to my orthodintist and he has retired. His partner examined me and my chart he confirmed that I was diagnosed incorrectly and that he did not use the proper rubberbands. He stated I needed surgery. Is this true?
