Plz tell your habits! If you eat supari arica nut this is osmf plz stop eating that. And start having antioxidants and physiotherapy. If you have stress or other eating habits or smoking that could be lichen planus or leukoplakia. If lateral side of tongue covers too plz get checked by nearest dentist and start relax for while reduce stress.

This is due to cheek bite at night .. as mouth is dry the line appears .. if it was due to smoking or gutkha the mouth opening would have reduced. Or the white patch would be scatted to the side.. don't worry.. normal cheek bite it is
Next Steps
need to grind the sharp edges of teeth by a dentist that is causing the bite mark
Health Tips
Dentist can make night guard if teeth is severely attrited or cheek bite is much..
