Longer bottom teeth - to trim or not to trim

[Exodog]

Bif has had a bit of extra growth on her lower teeth, and though she is still eating well and they are not causing sores on the roof of her mouth, I am wondering if trimming them would be a good idea.
Is this something I could do at home? Is there anything else I can do to encourage her to wear them more?

if it isn't interfering and her teeth seem to be growing relatively evenly, just leave them alone.

Sometimes I'd swear the bottom teeth look long when in fact they aren't. Like lilspaz mentioned, unless you see a real issue, I'd leave it.

Well they are getting far past the length they should be ideally. It looks as though she's still comfortable, but I don't want to wait until she's not to do something.
In the event that it does begin to be a larger concern, can I do them at home?

I don't advise home trimming unless you truly must, its very easy to injure the rat or crack/shatter the teeth.

There really is no "too long" with rats. It's only maloccluded (crooked teeth) or not. Those teeth aren't being worn down evenly because they no longer align.
