i do believe they are weakened after bending; assuming its bent alot. New bars is the safest bet.

Aluminium bars- No, the metal will have fatigued during the 1st bending, bending them back would weaken them even more, if not snap them.

Steel bars- maybe, Steel is more ductile than aluminium and will tolerate some bending before a failure.

New teeth or new bars, which would be more expensive, ask them that.

Sounds like you need to earn some (more) cash.

You could get some bars quite cheap, Easton EA30's are only œ18 on CRC.
