Depending on the style of the frame it is possible to *gently* heat the frames and "re-bend" them to the appropriate form. Optical labs use this method when inserting the lenses into the frames. The heat makes the plastic flexible. In optical labs they have "sand baths" or small heated containers of either sand or very fine glass beads that they use to heat the frames.

As to heating the frames at home, I would suggest hot, but *not boiling*, water. Soak the frames in the hot water for 10 minutes and then *gently* attempt to return the frame to its original position. You will have to hold the frame in that position until the plastic has cooled in order for it to retain the form.
