Linea alba

Linea alba

Linea alba refers to the frictional thickening of your cheek's tissue lining, also known as the buccal mucosa. It appears as a raised white line running horizontally along the plane where the top and bottom teeth meet. Friction causes an excess of keratin deposits, a protein found in hair and skin.
