It sounds like some of them may have been topped. In this case, the tree will lose its normal, upright, shape. This will be permanent, unfortunately.
You can attempt to correct the shape by pruning anything that does not take that shape. The tree is pretty forgiving of pruning at this point. Prune for how you want it to look.
This article will help you with the care of the tree:
