Dr. Raul Mora
Dental Surgeon, Implantologist and Master in Clear Aligners Biomechanics
About Me
Dr. Raúl Mora, with over 5,000 cases designed and more than 8 years of experience doing treatment planning is a leading expert in clear aligner therapy and manufacturing. As Clinical Director and advisor for a top manufacturing company.
With years of experience in digital orthodontics, I’ve helped orthodontists, dental labs, and technicians optimize their aligner treatments through precise design and staging protocols. As the Clinical Manager at Predict Smile and Hirsch Dynamics, I lead a team of over 30 professionals, ensuring that every treatment plan is not only effective but also biomechanically sound.
I’ve trained professionals worldwide in mastering clear aligner software, helping them move beyond generic setups to create fully customized, predictable treatments. My expertise lies in developing structured staging protocols, optimizing force application, and designing treatments that minimize refinements while achieving superior clinical outcomes.
My goal is to help you take full control of your aligner cases—understanding not just the biomechanics but how to design every step yourself using professional software. Whether you’re an orthodontist looking to refine your skills, a lab seeking to improve efficiency, or a technician wanting to advance in clear aligner design, I’m here to guide you.
Let’s elevate your aligner expertise and start designing like a pro!”

Articles
How Much BRT Do You Need to Expand Safely? What a Finite Element Study Tells Us
How much buccal root torque do you need to expand safely with clear aligners? A 2026 CBCT + FEA study shows 1.0° BRT cuts PDL stress by 57% in thin bone.
Essential Tips for Precision in Dental Segmentation
In digital orthodontics, small errors create big problems. Misplaced mesial or distal points during segmentation can compromise spacing, movement, and aesthetics. This post shows how to avoid the pitfall, improve IPR, and achieve predictable, balanced results across OnyxCeph, Nemocast, or Arcad.
Mastering the PIR Protocol: My Sequential Approach to Class II Division 2 Treatment
Class II Division 2 malocclusion is complex, with retroclined incisors, deep bite, and vertical challenges. The PIR protocol—Procline, Intrude, Retract—offers a clear sequence to manage these cases with stability and precision. Read how to optimize biomechanics, avoid pitfalls, and achieve predictable long-term outcomes.
Improving Molar Rotation with a Dual Attachment Strategy
Molar rotation with aligners is tough—size and roots make movement unpredictable. Dual attachments, placed buccally and lingually, create a couple force for pure rotation and better control. With precise planning and placement, this method reduces auxiliaries and improves predictability in rotations over 10°.
What we do during the session
We analyze your case from a treatment planning perspective, focusing on:
• Macro & micro staging strategy
• Biomechanics and force systems
• Attachment design and limitations
• Movement sequencing and keyframes
• Risk assessment (where cases typically fail)
• Opportunities to simplify or improve predictabilityThe goal is simple: optimize your plan before treatment starts — so you reduce refinements and improve outcomes.
We work directly in your preferred in-house software:
• OnyxCeph
• Titan Dental Design
You choose the platform — we adapt the strategy.
