How does the disc brake apply the braking force to the rotor?

Unlike rim brakes, caliper brake is moving brake pad on one side only - the opposite side is stationary (at least the one I have is like that). What I wonder is if piston/pad is pushing/bending the rotor towards the opposite pad or something else is flexing/giving in so brake pads can clench onto the rotor?
