I learned that new big toenails usually end up being ingrown is there any way to prevent this while i still have time?

Yes: As the nail grows out use a cuticle stick to help push the skin away from the nail so that it does not dig into the skin.

Ingrown nail: This will be difficult indeed and require diligence if it works at all.
