Question: will a dental root implant affect my bite?

one TMJ specialist said removing a tooth and having an implant replace the root portion would act as an anchor and get in the way of him realigning my jaw for TMJ issues. this same doctor also has me in a 24/7 bottom mouth brace to shift my jaw together over time. two dentists say hes wrong, the periodotist removing the tooth and another general dentist.
