When you pull up the lips of a live rat, the teeth (top and bottom) are both exposed. Just snip the 2 front top ones off, then proceed to the bottom 2. Most rats don't seem to mind - it doesn't seem to hurt them.
I've seen rabbits front teeth cut off when transporting males together. They cut the teeth out so that one male doesn't chew the testicles out of another. Doesn't seem to bother the rabbits much either (much less than having their testicles chewed off I would guess)
