I often bite the inside of my cheeks a lot how can I stop it?

Q. I bite the inside of my cheeks alot, almost ever day since almost 10 or more yrs im 23 now.I don’t know what trigged this behavior but i cant stop. Every time im idle, i tend to do it.Even when im studying i do it the most also when im anxious. Im scared that it might lead to cancer since its a chronic habit. I really need help to stop it.Do you know by any chance why i do it and how i can stop it. Thank you

A. It can be because your teteh angle outwards or do not meet properly which can be corrected by orthodontics(tooth straightening).  Sometimes wisdom teeth can cause this go to your dentist so your teeth and bite can be checked.
