A device for reversing growth direction of ingrown toenails is provided with a first flat portion which is adhesively secured to a top surface of a toenail, such that the front outer corners of the first portion are positioned above and immediately adjacent to ingrown toenail corners, and a second, wedge-shaped portion which is integrally attached to the first portion. The inner surfaces of the first and second portions are provided with a plurality of parallel rows of teeth which are angled, so as to allow meshing of the teeth of the first portion and the second portion, while preventing withdrawal of the wedged portion from its engagement with the first portion, when in place. The wedge is gradually pushed between the top surface of the toenail and the bottom surface of the first portion, causing uplifting of the ingrown toenail corners and relief of pressure on surrounding tissue.
