Help with Wax Myrtles

Hello,
I've created in my yard some wax myrtles that have grown out of control. They are older plants with fairly good sized trunks. Problem is that I did a poor job training when they were young and the trunks go off in all directions mostly toward the fence where they are rubbing on and towards the neighbors yard. I would like to try and save them but not too sure on how they would take to some severe pruning, Just how far can I take these guys down and see if they'll do better this time. Can I take them down to two or three feet where the trunks are straight?
Thanks for any advice.
