Brushing your teeth once a day is now recommended since over brushing is as much as a problem as not brushing them enough. You should use mouthwash and floss in the morning after breakfast and brush your teeth and floss before going to bed everyday. Chewing sugarfree gum 20minutes after every meal (or after as many as possible) will keep your mouth healthy and your teeth protected. Flossing is actually more important than brushing and so its something you should be more concerned about.

Brushing your teeth 3 times a day is important as it makes sure that you're keeping bacteria away and stopping the forming of plaque. Also you need to floss and use a water pick to make sure all areas of your teeth are cleaned. While brushing you need to be careful not to press too hard cause that may damage your gums.

Here's a video which shows the proper tooth brushing technique -

Before, of course. Brushing your teeth removes build up of food, plaque and other nasty things. So do you want to whiten your teeth, or the nasty gunk on top? Also, if you brush your teeth afterward, it might not let all the chemicals do their complete job.
