Braces making flossing impossible, anyone else tried water picks?

I've had braces for about 3 months now, and honestly flossing has become the bane of my existence. My orthodontist suggested trying one of those water pick things, and I finally caved and got one last week. Gotta admit, it's kinda weird at first—felt like a mini pressure washer blasting my teeth, lol—but it actually seems to do the trick. Teeth feel cleaner, gums less irritated, you know. Anyone else switched over to water picks? Curious if it's just me or if others found it helpful too.

We tried the water pick route too, and honestly, it was worth every penny. Threaders were helpful but took forever, especially at first. Eventually, we settled into a combo—water pick daily and floss threaders a few times a week. Saved time and kept things affordable.
