No, you can't. You can start at a community college and take some general curriculum classes but then you will have to go to a university then to a dentist school.

No, you can't get a degree in orthodontics at a community college. Although you could get a degree as a dental hygenist.

Orthodontists have a 4-year college degree and an additional 2 to 3 years of specialty training at a orthodontics school or hospital. So it's 6-7 years of work, not 2.
You can start off at community college, but you would have to transfer to a university to finish your undergraduate studies; majoring in either nursing or pre-med is a good choice for your bachelors degree. Then after completing your undergraduate studies, you must apply to a graduate school with a dental program and attain your DDS (Doctor of Dental Science), this takes at least 4 years. After that you must take a certification test. Lastly, you would have to complete a 2 to 3 year residency program accredited by the ADA of advanced education in orthodontics. Overall, to become an orthodonist it'll take 10-11 years of schooling. However, if you're truly committed to becoming one, it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck.
You can fufill your pre-med requirements at a CC and transfer to a university that has endodontics.
