do you own a jointer?
did you use kiln-dried lumber?
*If they are just plywood, probably not.

Cabinet door can often be adjusted on the hinge side to make up for any warp. Some hinges are adjustable, others may need to be shimmed. This works for overlay and lipped doors, but if they are flush doors you are SOL.
*Jim,If you can't tweek the hinges....Like Mike says....SOL.Ed. Williams

Jim, I have rewarped cabinet doors, full overlay, half overlay and flush. If the above hinge advice doesn't work you could try putting a block between the cabinet frame and door corner that goes into the opening or hits the frame first( I'm hoping you're not talking about the hinge sides). Clamp the other corner to the frame or rig a way to get some weight against it. The block has to be thicker than the warp, and you may have to leave it for a while.
Good luck, not SOL, BB
