Smile How does a shell grow

Ok Ok, it may seem a daft question, but I have googled it and still can not find the answer I want. How does a tortoise shell grow? Just wondered as three of my lovely tortoise have awfull shells due to not being kept correctly before I got them, so I would love to know where to look where the new growth would be. So I can see if they are improving with their new environment and diet. Knowledge is helpfull also in keeping a healthy tortoise and to avoid the pitfalls of Pyramiding shell rot et etc.

Sorry to sound silly but I tried the search on this forum and most posts were either about pyramiding, shell rot etc.
