What is an Open Roof Deformity?

October 13, 2009
Asked By:CSmitty in TN

Hello all, what is a roof deformity? I think I may have this problem pretty severely. I've read that seemingly quite a few problems can cause this, such as improper bone re-setting, shaving too much cartialge, etc. What does this deformity usually look like? How would it be corrected depending on the problem? And also, generally what is going on with the cartilage/bone when a open roof occurs? Does it get worse with time? Thank yall very much!!!
