You do not need a degree to become an orthodontic assistant, only to take a one year certificate program for dental assisting and an extra module for training in the specialty of orthodontics. As for dental hygiene, there are both diploma and degree programs available, depending on where you live.You may want to research such things as job descriptions and salary info relating to each, before you decide which avenue to persue.Hope this has been helpful, and "Best of luck" to you!
