Get a waterpik or the Sonicare equivalent. Use it with very warm but not hot water and a half cap full of Peridex or mouthwash.

My dentist told me I build plaque faster than most, and asked me to floss more (I hadn't been flossing any.) Like you, I found straight flossing to be pretty challenging, but the hydrofloss routing I described takes less than a minute to floss, and is pleasant to boot,and my dentist finds it more effective for me than straight flossing ever was.

Peridex nukes your mouth biome. That leaves it temporarily vulnerable to pathogenic bacteria. Normally you would prefer to have a biome consisting of benign bacteria which outcompete the pathogenic ones.

Same I hate using dental floss, never could get into the habit.

Waterpik changed my flossing habits for life, can't recommend it enough; I don't use the mouthwash, just warm water so that's a good tip.

I find the waterpik is amazing at getting food out of my teeth, but I still need to floss to get the plaque off.
