Would it be possible to work towards an Associates and Bachelors at the same time??

Hi, I'm a rising junior interested in becoming an orthodontist and I want to know how much I'll be able to take on once I go to college. I've heard you can get some Associates degrees online, which is something I've recently become interested in. My question is could I get an Associates in Dental Assisting online whilst simultaneously working towards a Bachelors Degree (bio or chem) in person? If not, I'll settle with a Bachelors, but I'm curious if both are attainable as I don't want to spend more time than I have to. Thank you!

Does it matter what college I go to after high school before dental school?

Hi, I'm currently in high school and I'm interested in dentistry, more specifically orthodontics. I know that I have to go to a college/university for four years to get my Bachelors before I can go to a dental school, but are there any colleges I should lean towards specifically? Also, what would it be most recommended I get a Bachelors in? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
