The beak should usually be about the same on both sides. But little pieces crack and flake off as part of the normal wear and tear process, so both sides might not be exactly identical 100% of the time.

If there's an abnormal difference, a vet can reshape the beak with a dremel. Hopefully the bird will keep it worn down equally on both sides after that.
