The Sonicare is an excellent toothbrushing system. I have used it for years. It does not, however, substitute for flossing. If folks have trouble with traditional floss, try the "sword flossers" which are little plastic devices which had floss stretched across what looks like the hilt of a sword, and which are easier to use than standard floss.
