Clenched, as teeth (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gritted

'clenched as teeth' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gritted that I've seen before include "Get dirt(anag.)" , "Roads in winter may be" , "like teeth under protest" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times.
