Is it normal for a Chin's teeth to show a little?

I'm really sorry if this is a dumb question. I just want to be informed in case I need a trip to the vet.

I can see my boy's teeth poke out a little bit with his mouth closed. It's a very little bit, but should I be concerned that his teeth are on their way to becoming overgrown? I always give him chewing material, he has a lava rock cube and ledge, always some sort of safe woods in his cage, and hay cubes (don't do much but I know they help a little).

Though of course, he has woods he prefers over others but I am just wondering if I should be concerned that he is on his way to overgrown teeth.

Again, I'm sorry if this is kind of silly and obvious. Other than that, his teeth are normal and a healthy orange colour :)
 
I can't see either of my chinchillas teeth without manually opening their mouths, unless they are chewing on something. I'm not sure if that is normal or not. Can you get a picture of it?
