"Set (one's) teeth" = Nghiến răng/siết răng -> Cương quyết/quyết tâm làm cái gì.

Ví dụ
Ever since Bethany discovered the truth about her new boss she's set her teeth to not let him beat him by quitting.

In turn, we set our teeth with how our misguided attitudes affect the sense of personal identity of those in China and of Asian descent (sự sa sút).

It was to attack and retreat on cue, to stand up to Josh Hazlewood and clamp down on Nathan Lyon, to set his teeth against the wind of Mitchell Starc's mid-innings new-ball tornado, in which he tried to achieve with a single snatch what no amount of clean-and-jerk was gaining Australia, and to deny Mitch Johnson a sniff. In this, he was so successful that the Johnson was relegated to last bowler in Steve Smith's rotation, and looked bodily incapable of rousing himself to the task at hand, and the WACA Ground buzzed with speculation that he would hasten into the retirement that has occupying his mind anyway. Near the end, Taylor's task was to play cagey (khôn láu) mouse to Australia's circling cat.
