Would You Extract in this Case?

Here is a case a Townie used to be proud of but is now seeing it through a different lens.
This is a case I was reviewing for a presentation and it's got me thinking. A year or so ago
I was proud of it but was also only looking at the case superficially. Now, through a different
lens, I'm wondering how people perceive this.
Was it started too soon?
Does it have too many compromises?
Was it not the best plan?
Anyone feel it should have been started earlier with two phases? Later with a single phase
and extractions?
I treated it early with non-extraction/single phase and longer-than-average treatment
time (about 30 months).

Although the patient was 11 years old, I started this case earlier (dentally) than I typically would due to the position of #22.
Treatment goals were:
* level/align
* create space for #22
* intrude and retract maxillary anterior
* correct Class II
* future replacement of congenitally missing #29
What do you all think? Would this have been a better serial extraction case? Maybe
upper 4s and lower 5 and second primary molar pattern? Non-extraction and functional?
Head gear?
