What happens if your hard palate cracked in the midline seam during the oral surgery?

Hard to know: All depends upon the situation. This is rare, unless it is planned to facilitate your surgery. If it is planned, then the proper fixation will follow as part of the surgery. If not planned, then the surgeon will make necessary treatment adjustments to best accomplish healing.

Oral Surgeon: Start with an oral surgeon who can determine the extent of your problem and what needs to be done to return you to proper form and function.

You will be fine: If palate fractures then usually is spontaneously heals. Be carefull not to apply pressure i this area. If there is persistent pain and signs of infection then see an oral surgeon.
