No, I don't think that dyeing should make any difference that will correct physical damage created by ironing at too hot a temperature. If they have survived washing and drying again, then I think the shiny marks will persist even after dyeing.
Instead, try rubbing them with a towel or a soft brush, while the fabric is still completely dry. Sometimes this works to raise the flattened fibers again.
To avoid creating similar marks on another garment, in the future, turn clothing inside-out to iron, use a pressing cloth, or take care to use a lower temperature setting on your iron.
