Materials and methods: Research with a quali- quantitative approach, clinical observational type, an analytical research design and a deductive-inductive research method. Results: It was demonstrated that the average smile,the rectangular shape of the teeth and the absence of gingival embrasures were the characteristics most selected by the patients. In addition, it was determined that the most relevant aesthetic characteristics for patients are the type of smile and the alignment of the midline. And also, that the perception of the study group does not coincide with its golden proportions.
