Can The Sensation Of Crack Inside The Mouth Be Linea Alba?
I feel a sort of like a narrow canyon or crack inside my mouth in the cheek part. What is this? I googled and 'linea alba' showed up. It says that linea alba feels like a narrow ridge but what I feel is curved inward not outwards like a ridge. Both sides of my cheeks(inside the mouth) has these line. What is this??

Can The Sensation Of Crack Inside The Mouth Be Linea Alba?
Hello and welcome. Yes the curved lines or ridges that you feel and see within your mouth along the cheek is linea alba. It is a kind of ridge between upper and lower jaw.In some patients, it is quite obvious while in others it is mild and less felt. Please do not worry, it is a normal phenomenon and present in every individual. It should bother you only if you bite on it accidentally,else not. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
