The general public can discover the wide world of braces, brushing and beautiful teeth in a hands-on exhibition targeted to pre-teens at the National Museum of Dentistry on the campus of the University of Maryland Baltimore.

Marvelous Mouth explores how to take care of braces, how mouth guards protect teeth during sports, how tobacco use can lead to tooth trouble and what careers are possible in the world of dentistry.

The exhibition features a central interactive computer station where visitors can explore the Marvelous Mouth animated game guided by a friendly tooth who takes on the guise of game show host, stealth Mission Impossible spy and hazmat crew member to illustrate the world of pre-teen oral health care.
