Is my braces cleaning routine good?

When I wake up in the morning, I brush, gargle mouth wash and use my Waterpik. I brush everytime I eat (if I have the chance) and before going to bed, I brush, floss and use my Waterpik. I also use a fluoride rinse once a week but will do it everyday before bed once all the wires go on. I do not want anything to go wrong (like discolouration and cavities). I also have a few very superficial cavities I am trying to reverse.

Is this good or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

    See PubMed:

    "[Fluorine as a factor in premature aging]. "

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16892576

    "Dental fluorosis during tooth growth and loss of dentition (tooth loss) in adulthood are two consequences of chronic intoxication with fluorine compounds."
