I dont think so
 
How to tell if your palate is small;
  • Locate the flat area on the roof of your mouth right behind your front teeth
  • Place the pad of your right thumb on the roof of your mouth
If your thumb
  • Fits tightly with little to no room on either side --> Your palate is small
  • Fits with room on either side and you don't feel it being caved in --> Your palate is average
  • Fits with a significant amount of room on either side --> Your palate is large
Even if your palate isn't small asking your orthodontist for a palate expander would be a good idea if they let you to have one and you aren't too old for it
