Celebrity personal trainer Jono Castano bizarrely admits he’s never used the teeth aligning products he’s endorsing – despite being an ambassador for the brand
Jono Castano has candidly admitted he doesn’t use a teeth aligning product he’s endorsing – despite being an ambassador for the brand.
On Sunday, the celebrity trainer, 30, was questioned about his partnership with SmileDirectClub, which offer customers clear aligners to place on their teeth to straighten them within a matter of months.
But when it was pointed out by the The Sydney Morning Herald that had porcelain veneers fitted in 2017, Jono said of his ambassadorship: ‘Nowhere have I stated that I have used the product from them.

‘I have a partnership with Smile Direct on the premise that a good smile can bring confidence to a person.’
Indeed, Jono – like celebrities such as Roxy Jacenko and Francesca Packer – has achieved his smile thanks to receiving upper porcelain veneers by Dr Fadi Yassmin of FY Smile in Double Bay.
The company shared a video of his results back in 2017, with Jono later describing the transformation as one which ‘changed his life’.
‘I cannot thank Fadi enough, amazing,’ Jono said in footage posted a year later.

Daily Mail Australia have contacted Jono and SmileDirectClub for further comment.
The Sydney-based fitness instructor previously admitted he’d struggled with insecurities about his smile when he was growing up.
‘Speak to me five years ago, I would put my face down when chatting to you,’ he told Daily Mail Australia in March.
‘I was ashamed of my smile. It’s such a deep topic, I guess. I wasn’t confident in my ability.’
Jono said that correcting his teeth, growing his fitness brand and working with famous clients had helped him become more confident.
Happy: ‘Confidence comes from being able to go into a room and speak to everyone in that room,’ he explained
‘It’s tough, a lot of us go through many things in life, and something as simple as changing your smile can help you towards becoming confident,’ he said.
‘Confidence comes from being able to go into a room and speak to everyone in that room,’ he explained.
‘And for me, having the perfect smile was such a key boost to being able to do that.’
