I feel for you !! And I can sure relate to what you're going through.
I had my MMA and GA 2 1/2 years ago. My sleep is much improved but I am still bothered by an enormous amount of numbness in my gums and lip and chin. I've also had a lot of movement of my teeth. I've been working with a dentist and have been wearing a set of retainers for quite awhile now. It has improved my bite a little but I still have a lot of pain and soreness in my teeth and gums.
The good news is that the Dentist works with a lot of MMA patients and has seen numbness improve as late as 4 years. That sounds a little unrealistic but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Good luck !! it's still early for you.
