Is there any research/literature on this? A couple years ago I read that the "correct" order was mouthwash -> floss -> brush.

I thought it was floss -> mouthwash -> brush, but either way brush was always last because the toothpaste fluoride is what you wanted left on your teeth at the end of the process with the mouthwash serving as a base layer.

Really good question.

I personally treat it like gym: it's most important that you do it, not so much in what order or even how well.
