Which type of breathing problems can this nasal dilator help cure?

All nasal restrictions relating to semi- or fully-collapsed nostrils.

Why does the collapsing of the nostrils cause such a problem?

Because the restriction of air during the inhalation process causes the mouth to open to supplement the necessary air supply to the lungs. Consequently the two-way air flow, results in snoring and also in some cases allows the tongue to fall back freely and thus block both airways (sleep apnoea).
