For example, if we apply forward-upward pressure to the anterior palate of a person with unfused sutures, causing counterclockwise rotation to shorten the midface (primarily the nose), does this simply rotate the maxilla, or does it also cause bone resorption in the midface and actual shortening? In other words, by applying clockwise/counterclockwise rotation with constant pressure, are we actually changing the bones, or simply moving the existing ones?
