They don’t do that if you floss daily, barring gum disease. Once you start it’s going to feel gross to not do it daily.

But then your teeth end up looking like this instead of nicely packed in with plaque

I love a Flapjack reference!

Interdental brushes are the way! No more gum issues since I started, and one habit I'm proud I developed. I had an xray where they showed how much the bacteria had eaten away at my roots - scared straight.

doesnt fit in between my teeth at all

Mine are pretty damn tight too but with the thinnest brush eventually it worked, and felt less and less disturbing. It's the gap by the gums you need to reach, not between the teeth themselves. For that I floss. I try to alternate the two, but it's really more about the gum area.

Well, yeah. That’s the nookie for all the plaque to evade the brush.
