It is chronic cheek biting as a result of impacted wisdom tooth. Get the wisdom tooth removed if there is no space for eruption of wisdom tooth. You can consult through this for further details.

This looks like linea alba(white line) which is commonly seen associated with pressure or friction or trauma to the area. From the image u have shared it could be due to wisdom tooth in proximity.
Next Steps
This condition doesn’t require any treatment.
Health Tips
Keep observing it, if you find any changes visit dentist and get the wisdom tooth extracted.
