I do not understand why my hard palate is so high?

Variant of normal: A high arched palate is a variant of normal anatomy. If your speech is normal and you are not having any functional problems with your dental arch, then it's just one of those things. Nothing to be concerned about.

Normal: There are many variations on normal from flat palates to very high palates - from wide to narrow to all sort of irregularities. If you are worried or if there has been a change - see an oral maxillofacial surgeon for an examination.
