How can impacted canines be brought down? What are my options? (photo)

bbqchips
Hi, about three years ago I got Invisalign. When I got the retainer, I didn't have canines, but the plastic made it seem like I did. I asked the doctor what was going to happen and she explained that my permanent canine would grow into the plastic. However, my Invisalign treatment is over and my canine are only halfway out and impacted. I don't know what to do, is there any way they can be brought down quickly, without the need of braces? I'm willing to do anything, please help me.
