Help about College Major?

Question

I need help about what to say for my College Major. Like, I want to be an Orthodontist. And im filling out this thing online to request a brochure about D.D.S. from this college i want to go to, and it says under a heading, "Major". Like, i dont know what categorizes as the major. Do i just say "Dentistry" or do i put "Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics" under major?

can someone help me out?

-thanks

You would probably want to put down Dentistry (or maybe even pre-dentistry) depending on the school you go to. I'm pretty sure Orthodontists are considered a specilized field of Dentristry. That being you must first have a degree in Dentristry then go on to specialize in Orthodontics. I considered it for a while but it is alot of schooling... and my hands are big.
