Abstract
This case report describes a patient who experienced significant improvements in body flexibility after the removal of a miniscrew implant. The findings suggest that dental implants may influence neuromuscular function and postural balance.

Introduction
Orthodontic miniscrew implants are widely used for anchorage in dental treatments. However, their long-term effects on neuromuscular function remain unclear. This case report explores the potential link between implant removal and body flexibility improvement.
Case Report
A patient reported restricted body flexibility and muscle stiffness after receiving a miniscrew implant. Following its removal, the patient exhibited a significant increase in range of motion and postural stability.
Discussion
The improvement observed suggests that the miniscrew implant may have affected neuromuscular coordination. The trigeminal nerve’s interaction with the body’s postural system could be a key factor in this response.
Conclusion
This case highlights the potential impact of dental implants on neuromuscular function. Further studies are needed to explore the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.
