Anglia Orthodontics

Dr. Francis Scriven

Francis' interest in Orthodontics originated from having a conventional "train track" brace as a teenager.  He realised from then what a life changing experience having your teeth straightened could be.

Francis graduated as a Dentist from the University of Bristol in 1996 having been presented with the merit award for Orthodontics.  He then graduated as a Specialist Orthodontist in 2002 with an MSc. from the University of Bristol and Orthodontic Specialist Diploma (MOrth.) from the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh.  He was awarded the Chapman Prize at the British Orthodontic Conference in 2002.

Subsequently Francis worked as an honourary Consultant in Christchurch, New Zealand for 18 months where as well as treating conventional orthodontic cases he also treated cases of cleft lip and palate and patients requiring orthognathic surgery.

Francis returned to at the UK in 2004 to form Anglia Orthodontics (a Specialist Orthodontic Clinic) with Paul.  Anglia Orthodontics is the largest Specialist provider of both Invisalign and conventional orthodontics is East Anglia.

Francis certificated in Invisalign in 2005. This allowed him to straighten his own teeth again as they had gone slightly crooked since his original brace treatment as a teen.

This allowed him to fully appreciate the potential Invisalign has to create fantastic results with a near invisible brace.

 

Dr. Paul Williams

Paul graduated in dentistry in 1996 from the Royal London Hospital and in orthodontics in 2002 from both the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and Bristol Dental Hospital. He has been a recognised specialist in orthodontist with the GDC since 2002. 

During his postgraduate training he received a national commendation for the excellent results shown in his orthodontic cases presented at the British Orthodontic Conference.

After his postgraduate training, Paul has worked in hospitals in East Anglia, gaining further  experience of managing complex orthodontic cases, before setting up in practice with Francis. The ethos behind Anglia Orthodontics is, and continues to be, very simple – to provide people of all ages with a beautiful smile.

Many people can gain a beautiful smile with invisible aligners, Paul included. Paul has embraced the use of clear aligners since he became an orthodontist and has been amazed at the results that can be achieved with Invisalign. As a result, Paul has started improving his own smile with Invisalign. It’s amazing that during a busy day, people do not know that he is wearing clear aligners!

Paul lives in Cambridge with his wife and two young sons. This means that he rarely has time to enjoy his pastimes of golf and tennis.
