The short answer is: water-flossing is much less effective than regular flossing which done the right way. Regular flossing will remove plaque between teeth, waterpik removes food particles (large pieces). Water-flossing is a great tool for the beginners, hopefully your boyfriend will switch to the regular flossing later on.

Position of each bracket on the tooth is very specific depending on what we are trying to achieve. Sometimes teeth are misaligned so much, that an ideal bracket placement is not possible. In this case we cement a bracket as close to ideal position as possible, wait for a tooth to start moving and change or replace the bracket to more optimal position later in the treatment. It doesn't happen often. Keep the dialog open and ask your orthodontist what he/she is doing and why.

Bleeding is a symptom of inflammation; healthy gums don't bleed. There are multiple reasons why you are having this inflammation, but the most common usually is bacteria in plaque and calculus (tartar) on your teeth. You need to minimize the amount of deposits on your teeth. You should keep flossing and brushing, add some oral rinses as well. The easiest mouth wash is "salt water": rinse with it as many times a day as you can. You also need to see your dentist: a good professional cleaning helps controlling health of your mouth. Let me know about your progress!
