Question

I'm not sure what's the problem, but my teeth is just so ugly with black part. Any expert can tell me what's the problem and how can I fix it?

The dark areas in between your teeth are either heavy staining, discoloration from decalcification or decay (cavities).   Your dentist should be able to give you an idea for treatment needs and cost.

Hi

The dark lines between you teeth looks like stain. An examination by your dentist can reveal for sure if it's stain or old fillings, either way it can be replace.

It appears that you are currently wearing aligners with Invisalign.  I am seeing stain around your filling. See if your dentist can polish or replace  the filling if necessary. It is possible that you got staining from wearing your aligners.

It is difficult to tell from the posted photos, but it appears that the black color is either decay/cavities, or old fillings that are starting to decay and need replacement.

The black lines between you teeth looks like stain or leakage around existing old white fillings.

An examination by your dentist and some x-rays can reveal for sure if it's stain or leaky fillings. Either way the fix may be as simple as replacing the old fillings!
