Teeth help?

well i got a oral b soft bristled toothbrush and some colgate total toothpaste. should i brush 2 times a day and floss once per day? is the brand "reach" good for flossing? i have a small gap and like a not so noticeable bottom tooth. is there ANY way to fix this using home made remedies? how do i floss correctly? when brushing do i use strokes, and do i use teeth-wide strokes or what? how do i know if a am doing ir right? do i brush everywhere or where? i want a pearly wide. help people
