Electric toothbrushes aren't better on their own, they don't do anything that you cannot do with a regular toothbrush, IMO. Lots of people just don't brush long enough with a regular toothbrush and tend to brush longer with an electric so in those cases it's better. Some people like the feeling and then brush more often with electrics making it a good choice for them. Of the electrics, the Sonicare is best IMO but it's expensive (~$100).
About your flossing, keep it up. It will let you KEEP your teeth, not lose them.
