I agree with T, an electric toothbrush makes fast work of brushing. I myself prefer the simple Braun/Oral-B models; you don't need the silly fancy "3D" pulsing-whatever features either.

Rubber-tippy thingy first ("gum stimulators"), followed by flossing, finished off by brushing. Why some dentists/hygienists floss at the end, leaving gunky bits *missed* by brushing first, is beyond me.

Oh, gargle/wash out with water at the end. I tend to avoid bottled mouthwashes 'coz I dislike the flavor. (Also dislike any flavored flosses, but I'm weird that way. Lemme tell ya, it's tough finding unflavored flosses! 99.9876% of 'em have artificial flavors with aspartame or saccharine. Why, I ask you, why...?)
