The objective of this study was to evaluate the self-perception of facial aesthetics and its impact on the quality of life of adults. Individuals of both genders aged 18 to 42 years were selected, with healthy anterior and inferior teeth with no direct or indirect restorations, splinters or fractures, without periodontal pathologies, diastemas or crowding or history of orthodontic treatment or trauma. To assess the self-perception of facial aesthetics, the volunteers used a visual analog scale (VAS) assigning a score from 0 to 10, with 0 being the worst possible aesthetic and 10 being the ideal aesthetic. Afterwards, the volunteers answered the questionnaire on facial aesthetics based on the work of Serzin et al. (2000) and the Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire (OHIP- 14). The data were submitted to statistical analysis (alpha = 0.05). It can be seen that most of the volunteers rated it as high with regard to their self-perception of facial aesthetics, not observing a significant difference between self-perception of facial aesthetics and demographic data (gender, age, race and body weight). There was no significant association between total OHIP-14 and between any of the domains and facial VAS. It was observed that most of the volunteers pointed out as focal points when they saw their face and of the other people was the region of the mouth (lips / teeth) (85.7%), followed by the skin (47.9%), the periorbital region (43 , 7%) and nose (14.3%). The vast majority of volunteers (99.2%) stated that they would like to change some aspect of their face. It was concluded that the self-perception of facial aesthetics did not interfere with the quality of life of the evaluated population. In addition, the majority of the sample pointed out the same regions of the face as focal points when viewing their face and of the other people and that they would like to modify some features of their face.
