Canines, for example, restrained by devotee thus? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teeth

'canines for example' is the definition.
(I know that canine tooth is a type of tooth)

'restrained by devotee thus?' is the wordplay.
'restrained by' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TEETH' can be found hidden inside 'devotee thus'.

(Other definitions for teeth that I've seen before include "they add effectiveness" , "Incisors maybe" , "Dentition" , "Projections on a gear" , "Feature of an effective bill" .)
