The invention relates to a cheek protector (1) to be placed inside the mouth to prevent the wearer from biting his own cheek especially while eating or speaking. The cheek protector comprises at least on one cheek side a plate-shaped portion (2) preventing the cheek region located at the site of the plate from coming into contact with the teeth. The cheek protector further comprises two connecting parts (4,5) extending parallel to and at a distance from each other and being connected to the plate-shaped portion or plate-shaped portions. The protector maybe substantially planar and bendable into the operating position or it may be brought into an arcuate shape already in the manufacturing stage. Preferably the protector is made of a physiologically inert polymer.
