Damaged baseboard fins - Any way to bring back to life?

We are doing a bathroom renovation and I discovered some pretty good damage to the baseboard register fins. Are there any tools and/or tricks for straightening these out? I could just put the covers back on but I can't imagine these are operating at intended capacity.

Thanks

    those aren't really that damaged but a pick and a small screwdriver and maybe a putty knife and some patience. there are fin tube combs for the small fins on ac components but I don't think they make one that big.

    and that much damage won't make much difference in the heat output.
