Why is there something red on the upper jaw when the teeth are adjusted?
I guess this thing you are talking about is a flat guide, or simply a flat guide.

The purpose is to open the bite, that is, let the lower incisors bite on the red self-setting plastic, and the rear teeth are not occluded. Over time, let the lower back teeth grow up and bite the upper back teeth together.

The reason is that your upper and lower incisors overlap deeply. Generally speaking, the vertical angle of your upper front teeth covers your lower front teeth too much, which is abnormal.
