A metal retainer itself typically does not cause teeth to turn black. However, poor oral hygiene can lead to plaque buildup around the retainer, which may result in discoloration of the teeth over time. Additionally, certain dietary habits or exposure to staining substances can contribute to tooth discoloration. It's important to maintain proper oral hygiene and regularly clean retainers to prevent such issues.

What will a retainer do?
A retainer is an orthodontic appliance that is designed to hold the teeth in a specific position. It can be a 'fixed' retainer, which means it is glued in place and is not removed, or it an be a removable retainer that can be removed to clean or eat. Retainers are necessary following orthodontic treatment because bone has a 'memory'; that is, it wants to return to its former position, and in doing so, it will undo all the work to straighten the teeth. By wearing the retainer (sometimes for several years) you make the bone 'forget' its former position, and eventually the teeth will remain in their new position without the retainer.
