I am leaving for a 6 month trip to the other side of the country in May and will still have many months of treatment left (I'm paid off next month)... things are mostly on-track, no more extractions and no major adjustments for the foreseeable future. So, do I just wave adios and pick back up in 6 months?
I have at least 5 or 6 more months of treatment left, but have no problem putting it on pause for a bit. I just wonder what usually happens when someone needs to interrupt treatment like this?
