What is the device used on your ears, like a tooth brace, but for treating prominent ears ?

Not sure: Perhaps you may be referring to a product in development that relies on a system to hold and reshape the ear.

Otoplasty is best: The device is an ear band with a molded earpiece, but this is really on for babies, when their ear cartilage is still moldable. The device has to be worn all day. An otoplasty can be useful to correct issues like a prominent ear where the entire ear is pushed forward or a cup ear deformity where there is a lack of one of the normal ear folds. Consult a facial plastic surgeon for a consultation.
