Just got braces and flossing is a lot more time consuming. Does anyone have a water flosser they recommend?

I'm using the Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 3000. I still use regular floss afterward (I'm a dentist, so a true oral hygiene nerd) but it does a really good job.
WaterPik is a good, reliable brand though I've never tried one.

Don't know how old you are, but my ex wife worked at an ortho office in BCS years ago and I learned that probably 25% of their business was adults, some were even elderly with jaw/teeth issues.

She said the hardest part, especially for the teenagers was getting them to keep their braces/teeth clean. They would often have patients brush their teeth in the offce, sometimes more than once.

You are doing the right thing.

They also make a 7000.

I'm 45 and have a bite issue that I started to notice three years ago. Finally getting it fixed.

An ex girlfriend's aunt had to get periodontal surgery which scared me into flossing in my early 20's. Been at it for a while.
