The anti-snoring invention comprises as internal nasal dilator having a combination of elements constructed and arranged to provide near-normal breathing for the wearer, while preventing the dilator from falling out of the nose, and without annoyance or discomfort for the wearer. To carry out the inventive concept, the internal dilator comprises a combination of several elements. First a V-shaped member, such as a flat spring is provided, with resilient pad means attached at each end thereof. A flexible nasal strip is then attached by the wearer at the central portion (outside bottom) of the V-shaped spring by adhesive means in one form of the invention, or by clamping means in another form; the nasal strip has two adhesive portions at or near the free unattached strip-ends. The spring-ends with the pad means are inserted by the wearer inside the two nostrils so the spring can spread the outer walls of the nose to increase the nasal opening for improved breathing. The adhesive portions at the free strip-ends are then pressed against the outer surfaces of the nose by the wearer to be attached thereto, for retaining the pad means in place inside the nose, so the spring and pad means do not fall out; the soft resilient pad means then prevent discomfort for the wearer. The used nasal strips are replaced daily for good hygiene, and the two pads are replaced once every 20-30 days.
