hello,
the line running in the inner cheek is known as "linea alba" common in most of the individual due chronic irritation by the teeth when they occlude. dont worry until there is pain or ulceration. take care.

Hi,
It is the cheek bite, it happens in almost all individuals it is normal, this happens because of the approximation of the both upper and the lower jaw.
