That technique is something you get pretty much automatically if you use an electric toothbrush.

Maybe for you but for me it didn't work at all until I used the 45 degree angle (with electric tooth brush and tooth paste) approach. For me I could tell that things were getting better when I could stop flossing for a week and then floss and there was no bleeding or tenderness. Before the 45 degree technique my gums were tender from flossing almost all the time. I'm not sure that every mouth is different but I'm pretty sure that there is a lot variety. My mouth creates a lot saliva that, in turn, creates a lot plaque.
