Toxic materials?: As we do not know exactly what materials your dentist is using nor where he\she got them from, we cannot know. Here, in the USA, quality dentists will use quality materials and not generics from overseas and those materials are considered safe.

Why would it?: What would make you think that your dentist (or orthodontist) would be using hazardous materials in your mouth? From your other post you stated that you've had it for seven years, and now it's been removed. If you have certain medical problems, have your physician evaluate you and forget about dental materials...there is no correlation.

Don't worry: All orthodontic materials used are CE and FDA approved Dental Clinic Products. Ask your orthodontist for more information. Nothing to be concerned.

Stop obsessing: All materials used in or on the human body are tested for safety. We use these materials on our own families. Have you ever heard of anyone being hospitalized or losing their life because of an Orthodontic retainer? Of course not. A story like that would be all over the news. Your Dentists, your Physicians, want to help you, not harm you. So don't worry.
