If you are thinking on textgreek package it generally will not work in math-mode except when you use special macros. My modest suggestion for to have Greek characters in text mode, you should use in mathematical mode, upgreek package. In particular I have used the commands
\hat and \widewat
to have a comparison.
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{upgreek}
\begin{document}
$\hat{\upalpha}, \widehat{\upalpha}$
\end{document}

You should use the inline command to switch to math mode, such as
$\hat{\tilde{a}}$
and continue with the text.
Hope this is helpful.

By writing $\hat{\alpha}$ I got alpha hat in text. Thanks for the answer. – e7000 Aug 07 '19 at 20:31
