Wow he is a biggy, I've only done dentistry on a smaller sap. Have you checked out the article in our library? If not search for it snd read it through several times so you know you got it sussed. The article will tell you all you need to know. My main advice is keep calm cos it's not as difficult as it may seem

Wow, now those are some buck teeth! Looks as though he's quite thin from not eating enough.
MS-222 is a powder. I'd use about 1/8 spoon in a gallon. If that doesn't knock him out, then double that.
What tool will you use to clip those big teeth?
Be sure to move him back & forth in the fresh tank water. You can "breathe" for him by moving the water across his gills. Don't hold him still like that guy did, waiting for the gills to move.

Equals one gallon = 3.78541178 liters That's right;;
A teaspoon of powder is about 5 grams!
SO to calculate 5/8 = 0.625 is the MS-222's right to 3.78541178 liters;; if it does nothing to double the amount;;
(The fish is 38 cm)
what you say;;; myself to risk
The teeth cut into vet like video!
