Biting inner cheek while sleeping

I always keep biting my inner cheeks while sleeping. Can reshaping of canine teeth will help? And can frequent biting leads to oral cancer?

You first need to undergo a proper clinical examination by a dentist to exactly ascertain which teeth are causing continuous biting. This can be due to a sharp edge on any tooth or irregular alignment of the teeth. Unnecessary reduction of enamel during reshaping should be avoided as much as possible. And yes, although it is not very common but chronic trauma can definitely lead to oral cancer. so this problem needs rectification as soon as possible. Regards.
