Walaykum asalam
Yes brushing the teeth is allowed while fasting, providing no water or toothpaste accidently goes down your throat as this will invalidate your fast even if its unintentional. The actuall brushing of the teeth isnt what will invalidate the fast, it would be the water or toothpaste accidently going down your throat while rinsing or gargling.
In Hanafi fiqh its disliked to brush teeth for the other schools of thought im not too sure.
As for asma it depends on what type you use, which is explained here as i dont have asma and wouldnt understand which one your using
