i also have it and might consider making a guide about it.
for your problem it depends if its dental braces would do and if its due to bones than you might need jaw surgery, sometimes bimax if maxilla AND mandible is the problem

Honestly class 2 is on the heavier/moderate side, as far as I'm aware orthodontics are only able to correct milder overbite cases. I'm pretty sure that if you're a class 2, something like braces or invisalign will only fix your teeth, but they'll do very little for the underlying bone structure itself, so while it may fix your bite, you'll still likely be recessed.

Looking at it from a purely aesthetic standpoint, jaw surgery would be ideal, but if you're only after functional benefits then yeah, those could be your solutions.

Yeah, honestly, if you're recessed, get surgery. If you're not, and then orthodontics work. When you're younger, orthodontic treatment may be able to correct the recession too, but since you're +16 that's pretty unlikely.
