Bottom jaw overgrown a bit?

My little Hercules had a piece of his bottom beak sticking out last week, of which I clipped off, but the sides are high and he keeps trying to chip them off when he bites down. It’s a “v” shape now on his bottom jaw and I think that he is just trying to “even” it out. I can’t seem to get a picture because it’s pretty hard to get his mouth open. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?

Yes, you can clip the sides too. Just be careful to not clip too much.
