if it is like the Waterpik then I know what you mean about water getting everywhere... The first day I used the waterpik ,this is what I did :
I filled the tank with water , held the tip to my teeth,smiled really wide and looked into the mirror. Very wrong! lol I got water everywhere! I was upset lol. Water all over the mirror,all over the counter and my shirt.
Then I tried again but this time I put the waterpik tip in my mouth and closed my mouth around it, I tilted myface down facing the sink. The waterpik worked great, I just guided the pik around each tooth . You don't need to look into a mirror to know which tooth you are spraying. Let the tip be your guide and keep your mouth closed. I have had no accidents since then.

Thanks guys, ok so keep my mouth closed, do you just keep the tip like a few mm away from your teeth??? I'll give it another try when I get home, havent got my braces yet so a good time to practice!

Ill keep you updated with how i go!

Yep, just almost touching your teeth and gumline, close your mouth almost all the way, then turn it on...don't look in the mirror, that seems to be when I splatter the most. Point your head down towards the sink and let the water just stream back out. I don't know what people with braces do that don't have waterpiks! They are amazing!
