I do believe it is the premaxilla. It bears the upper anterior teeth, and if it fails to merge with the maxillae/palatine bones then some variety of cleft lip/palate will emerge.
For more info on varieties of cleft lip and palate:

try looking in a biology book of bones and a full body diagram
p.s
ur question is a bit hard to understand why not just say where the bone is on your body and i might be able to help.What is the name of this bone??? Its driving me crazy!?
Your mouth has five major bones. They are the lower jawbone, called the mandible, the two bones of the upper jaw, and maxilla, and two bones called palatal bones that form the roof of the mouth, the palate. The mandible is an arch-shaped bone. The mandible is actually the thickest, strongest bone in your skull.
The condyles pivot and slide at what are called the "temporomandibular joints" (or TMJs). The two bones of the upper jaw extend upward from the teeth to the bases of the cheek and nose bones. Like other bones in the cranium, the two palatal bones are joined by a thin line of connective tissue called a "suture." Like many other parts of the body, the suture is flexible and easily stretched during infancy and childhood. It becomes more rigid as we age.
