Suggest Remedy For Upward Bend Lingual Arch

My lingual arch is bent upwar because I keep flicking at it with my tongue and other objects I stick in my mouth such as pens, sticks, knives. What do I do about this? I don't want to go to my orthodontist because I don't want to get charged extra. I just want to know if there is a way I can bend it back downward.
